Her Family has suffered 3 losses in the past 4 years, including her beloved Husband, whom she has missed so greatly. Although in great shape, and health, she had a stroke about 6 months ago, and yesterday, had another one, then, this morning, she is gone! After her first one, she was angry that she was still alive, because she so wanted to be with her Husband! You see, as usual in the worst of times, there is good to be found; she is now happy, and with her Husband! I used the above photo of butterflies, because her Husband told his Family, well all of us, that when we see a large yellow butterfly, to think of him, and now she has joined him...
On top of this, one of her older Children, whom has been in remission with cancer, has been in, and out of the hospital recently, because the cancer is back. Their Family has had SO much to contend with in recent years, and yet, they seem pillars of strength. They are a large Family; very happy, and humorous people, whom this far, have held up amazingly so! *GOD* BE with them, and keep them well...
In the midst of this, we have a Birthday party to attend as well, so, I am going to be busy in various ways...
It is always sumthin' in this life, but that is life! We make it past what would keep us down, we ARISE in FAITH, and we go forward in HIS name! Life is optimized by sharing the LOVE of *GOD*, the good times, the bad times, encouraging one another, and PRAYING for one another. We have to retain grace, mercy, understanding, tolerance, and patience as we wait on THE LORD, and aid one another in whatever ways we might! All that we endure, and persevere keeps humility alive, as well as fortifies us!!!
Thank *GOD* for this day, and for HIS LOVE, while PRAISING HIM, WORSHIPING HIS HOLINESS, and REJOICING in HIS deeply compassionate care of us; let HIS GLORY SHINE OVER all of this world, and let us PRAY always!!!
MUCH LOVE to all, take care, and revere this day for the GIFT it is, and touch as many as you can, with THE LORD, HIS LOVE, and HIS BLESSINGS...OXOXOXO

There are many lessons in death; lessons we don't care to hear, to acknowledge, to understand, yet they exist for the purpose of enriching this journey, and safely leading us to our destination...
CHRIST JESUS TRIUMPHED OVER death, and so shall HIS own! Death is an enemy of the flesh, indeed, and leaves gaps in our lives, still, there are deep lessons in it's wake, which lead us closer to TRUTH!!!
Death changes things, though it should not destroy us! It should speak to us in diverse ways, but not consume us! It should be understood, and accepted, as much as is feasible, for it is, besides *GOD*, the most honest fact of life!!!
HEAVEN celebrates the return of one of it's own!!!
While we mourn, we should then turn to celebrating what *GOD* has accomplished in a person's life, because even unknowingly, each HAS been crucial TO HIS WILL, FOR HIS GLORY!!!
I thank the dearly departed, even those that were very wrong, for they contributed to making me into the person I am today, and I PRAY for THE LORD to keep their souls; after all, it is not like I have never committed any wrong! Even the bad of this world, HAS purpose to the whole, as it teaches, and leads us to exactly where *GOD* would have us...
Yes, death is something we WISH would go away, as we cover our ears, and eyes to it, yet it it will not go away, UNTIL JESUS returns! Therefore, we SHOULD learn to face it head on, with as much understanding as is possible, that we can move past it with the PEACE of *GOD'S* LOVE, and the PEACE of our FAITH!!!
