I remember her wearing collard sweatshirts, with bears or decorative designs on them. I specifically remember her wearing a white sweatshirt. She wore cotton pants, I remember her wearing a navy blue pair often.
She moved slowly, taking in the world around her. I can still see her folded hands placed by her mouth, and I can hear her saying "praise Jesus."
She always took time for people. While in her presence, we would play games, pick berries, or read stories.
In spirit she prayed, for everyone that she knew, by name. She prayed out loud, in a soft, quiet voice.
She lived a life of purpose. She knew when to have fun and she knew when it was time to be serious. She knew how to love, care, and serve.
She was also a very smart woman, who knew that people were watching. As a child and young adult I watched her. I watched the way she treated people and the way she carried herself. More importantly, I watched how she followed Christ.
I'm sure that she has had a ball in Heaven. I'm sure that she is still smiling, laughing, and folding her hands.
I just wonder, does Jesus spread His cards out, while they play Uno at HIS table??
All Thins Are Possible,
Stephanie
