Thoughts about my sister...
Too many words say absolutley nothing. So much love rushes me it hurts. I don’t remember much about you as a child. Our childhood was such a mess. I was so much older… seven years. You were different even then. Blonde in a house of brunettes. Pale skinned. Always sticking something up your nose or in your mouth or your ear. Braver than your older sisters. Daredevil. Losing people close to you at such an early age. Making jokes when people get too close to you so it won’t hurt so much when you lose them. Saying the strangest accidental things as a child… “Peace On You!” We laughed at what it sounded like… Now I want "shalom" peace for you. Shalom for me too. For my peace of mind. I want your salvation to be on solid ground. I am scared. Your heart is seriously broken… and it is breaking mine. Time. There may not be a lot of it.
Faith… I pray your faith in the Father is strong, Hope, I pray you look forward to each day on earth (may there be many years) and an eternity to look forward to in heaven, … Love… there is an abundance of love for you in my heart… and out of the three… faith, hope, & love… love is the only thing that continues in heaven. Residence of heaven don’t need faith… they see Jesus, they don’t need to hope for heaven, they are there, but love, love remains.
So sister, I pray for you to have such a perfect relationship between you and the Father that no matter what the future holds you are safe in His arms. I pray the Great Physician steps in and heals you. I want you to live a good long life on this earth praising God for every minute you are here and shining His love to others. After all... it is not a stretch...you already show His love working with the elderly in the nursing home. Then, in God's timing, I want you to join me in heaven and enjoy every minute of it there for eternity. That is what your big sis wants. That is my prayer. I love you so much.
