Vicki, Michael, and Francine,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mom and my "cousin Lisa." She was was a wonderful woman and should awlays be remembered for the good times. As for me, I will always remember the times we spent on the dance floor! May her body rest in peace and her spirit continue to dance with the Lord. It is in Him that we should take refuge, crying in birth and smiling at death, for in Him her spirit will live on forever!
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:8
Cousin Lisa,
Thank you for being such a great support to my mom and family. I can only hope we can repay your love kindness by being a shoulder for your loved ones in this difficult time. May your children continue to draw closer to one another in the Lord, knowing that one day we will all live again in His eternal light. Until then, let us all be living testimonies walking in His Love, Joy, Forgiveness, and Peace!
I love you and you will stay close to my heart##imported-begin##Georgette Noriega##imported-end##
