God kept you alive until we saw you.
You hung in there, tired and ready to go.
Yet your soul wouldn’t let you leave this earth until you saw us again.
Thank you for thinking that much of us.
To tell God to hold on your waiting for our arrival.
What a blessing and an honor to ARRANGE that for me.
To see my nana give You worship and honor on her dying bed; just to see us.
No, it wasn’t JUST about us.
It was the Fact that ONCE AGAIN, YOU DID IT AGAIN.
Once again You didn’t let Your Word Fall to the ground!
Once again You’ve proven Yourself to be true and real.
Because it was NOBODY but Our God
Who ARRANGED THIS MEETING
“This is the best day ever” she said.
You were pleasing in her sight.
Look what the Lord has DONE!
Oh how You moved mountains, the hills AND the valleys
To schedule a meet up, I didn’t see coming.
IT COULDA WENT ANOTHER WAY!
But THANKS BE UNTO GOD who saw it FIT to answer a servants prayer.
Lord let me see them me before I leave this earth 🌎 (is what I’d imagined how the conversation started)
There was no doubt that she was ready but she wasn’t complete until she saw our faces.
And as we departed that day I could only imagine her last thoughts to You before she surrendered her soul unto You were… all is well, You can take me HOME now.
It is the icing on the cake that solidified the Man in the room.
I wonder 🤔 did You see me there?
Were You standing there with tears rolling down Your face, clapping Your hands looking down at us?
Did You rejoice in Heaven, seeing Your work come together?!
God said, I did A LOT to make this happen
Thank You Lord
It coulda WENT another way

Thank You Lord
I would’ve never been able to forgive myself
HAD I MISSED HER!
She had an appointment
My God on that day, She had an arrangement scheduled for her on that date.
Long before our arrival, yearsss prior it was already set in stone
Marked on the calendar that this would be the day
THAT I DIDN’T MISS IT!
Thank You Lord.
Now let me tell you how much I remember you:
I remember late nights, on the couch watching your shows cracking up eating peppermints(it was a vibe)
I remember early rising, getting fully dressed even when nowhere to go, in your Word
I remember the radio be GLUED to the gospel station
I remember you being the usher and a faithful member- I saw loyalty
I saw you survive a broken family then invite him in when he was sick- I saw forgiveness
I saw you work until retirement- I saw dedication
I saw you take my uncle for what he was and not judge him- I saw purity
I saw you surrender your life to keep others happy- I saw sacrifice
I saw a little lady with a routine that carried herself with grace and dignity- I saw honorable
I saw you enjoy playing cards with yourself and putting puzzles together- I saw a woman who enjoyed her own company
You were an ordinary lady living your ordinary life and that was happiness to you.
When your marriage didn’t work, you never remarried or went out fornictaing- I saw and example
I saw you be content with simplicity
It didn’t take much to make you happy.
I saw you
I didn’t even realize how much I watched you.
I just wanna let you know
That You Are LOVED.
You Are MISSED.
And you had eyes looking at you even when you didn’t know they were watching you.
~ I Love You Nana~
