RISE AND SHINE, GIVE GOD THE GLORY
Everyday I would awaken my
children by cutting t'he light on
and saying, "Rise and Shine,
give God the Glory". Every _
time their feet hit the floor,
they had another opportunity
to thank and experience God's
love, bringing them from
darkness to light. It was a..
privilege to be able to wake up
in God's hand. To the unsaved,
backsliders and unbelievers,
ARISE and receive God's
salvation. Be converted, so that
one day you will have a chance
to shine in God's Glory, and
YES the. day will come.
-'"
It is okay to cry and grieve, but do not stay in this place. I am not in pain, tny suffering is over. I have crossed over and ! received the healing virtue of Jesus Christ. Remember my smiles, my teaching and all the love I had for you all. When thinking of me just retnember, "RISE AND SHINE, GIVE
GOD THE GLORY".
Today my children, fatnily and friends, I did arise and shine IN God's glory. Wipe away all tears of sadness, keep the tears of joy and help me give "God the Glory". Praise Him
because I truly atn!

She was a gift from Christ, some even viewed and considered her to be an Angel. Words cannot paramount to what she accomplished and done for others. Successful at whatever task she set out to accomplish, accepting "NO" for an answer or using the words "I can't"~ those acts were unacceptable and against her will.
