Today is the day....
It's here....
My friend's Homegoing....
That's right,
I refuse to say "goodbye"
Goodbye is Final, and I know we will meet again......
I am celebrating today and I hope...
I pray... that all of you that have been touched by Theresa's kindness,
I pray that you celebrate, as well.
My heart is heavy,
it's because I am selfish...
I want to see her face...
I want to have conversations...
I want her grandchildren to feel her hugs....
her children, to hear her wisdom,
Her husband to rest in her embrace...
But that is not possible...
Theresa is Home..
What we can do, is celebrate her life....
celebrate who she is..
who she was, when she walked this earth..
She was special..
she loved people...
she loved all....
She loved the way that the Lord teaches us to love....
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.....I Cor 13:4-8
We celebrate Theresa today,
but let's not finish with today...
Let's celebrate her life, her love,
Everyday...
Let's show kindness and compassion to one another...
Let's Love one another , the way that she loved....
The same way that the Lord loves.
Theresa's life had meaning, purpose...
and far beyond the costumes, the advice, the baby-sitting..
her purpose was to inspire each one of us...
She was here to teach us...
She knew the real meaning of love...
Celebrate today, by showing love...
The type of Love that is spoken of in Scripture....
Patient, kind, sacrificial, true, forgiving love.
Thank you Theresa...
You touched us all,
you taught us all,
you still inspire us all.
No Goodbyes....
Until We Meet Again.
