It's Never Easy

I'll be seeing you in all of the familiar places... 

It's never easy Saying, "See you later!"... 

I haven't said anything because it is still so fresh. The moment in November, I was called, and they told me you were gone. I mustered up the courage and kept going to my mom's for Thanksgiving. The phone calls that I had to make while driving were tough, and the tears came down my face just knowing you were not here with us anymore. 

I was reminded of your words, which you would sometimes tell me, "Death was Sweet!" 

2 Corinthians 2:15-17 The Passion Translation TPT

We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God —a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing. The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life-giving aroma that leads to abundant life. And who of us can rise to this challenge? Unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God’s Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ.

I understood it more in the days to come, and you wanted to remind me it was well with your soul when God called for you. You would be ready, and I'm comforted because you made your calling sure. 

I miss our phone calls and will miss Christmas and all other special holidays. I will miss You checking me out on social media. I will miss you calling after seeing something I would have posted either something about the church or the children (grown folk), and you would have asked about them. 

Now all of our special moments are full and filled with precious memories. 

It's Never Easy, 

but with the 

STRENGTH OF GOD 

WE WILL MAKE IT...
