My Loss — Remembering my sister, Barbara

Hello Everyone!


  Seven years ago today, my sister Barbara died.  A tragic end to a young life.  She was 42 years old.  She would have celebrated her 49th Birthday today.  Instead, she is celebrating the 7th Anniversary of her entry into heaven.


  If you would like to read the post about her, please click here. It is un-edited raw emotion. This post recounts the days before and after her death.

 You know life is short.  There is a lack of kindness in this world.  The casket may be the physical body’s final resting spot, however what has happened before that body goes into the casket is remarkable.


  Way beyond the comprehension of man is the Creator’s will, and plan.  Jeremiah 29:12-14 has been for many years one of my favorite scripture passages.  It speaks of God’s plans.  Not our plans. 


 Believe me when I say that at the 1/2 century mark of life there are a few things I have learned.  That is probably one of the most important. 


  There is no doubt in my mind or heart that we have choices to make while we are here, and those choices will affect what happens to us later on.  


  Believe on his shed blood at the cross. You will be saved.  It is grace not what we do.  Jesus is our free gift.  Our salvation came at a great price.  


  Want a life change.  Tired of the same old crap?  Want something that will literally last forever?  Well, look no more.  The answer is Jesus.  To read more please click here. 


  What do I remember most about my sister?  The years when she was well.  When she was taking the proper medications for her mental and physical issues.  The girl that always struggled, but some how always found a way.  She believed in Jesus. I know she is in heaven praising him. Probably hanging out with my mom’s parents leading the praise and worship music.


  One day we shall meet again.  What a glorious day that will be. 


  Enjoy your day!  Stamp Happy and be a blessing.
