“Today makes one whole year since my beautiful sister Michele went home to heaven with the Lord..Amen..and I can say that this year has been like a year that I have never had before..it has been really hard for my family and I..they say that once someone close to you passes away that you are never quit the same as you were before..and I truly can say that is the truth..Amen..it has been really tough..I have my moments and it has taken me out at times this past year..and then I have to get myself together and pull myself together..and change my thinking and do that quickly..because I know that the enemy wants to take us all out..and he uses death most of the time to do that..he makes us think that death is the final destination..but oh boy that is the furthest thing from the truth..because death is not the final for any of us who are children of the Lord..Amen..but since she has been gone..I have had two wonderful dreams of my sister..and both were so wonderful she was happy..and she was in one in heaven..and the other she was with me and our other sister Judy..and we were laughing and eating cucpakes..taking pictures of one another..Amen..so the Lord gives us moments and sometimes dreams to let us know that our loved one is with Him and that they are okay..Amen!”

“So today I just came to encourage everyone who is dealing with the loss of their loved one..and I just want us all to know that we will see them again one day..Amen..because heaven is our home..I know while here on earth it is hard to wrap our minds around that..because we live for here and now in life..but God reminds us that this is not our forever..that heaven is the place that we live on forever and ever..2 Corinthians 5:1/Revelation 12:21..Amen..so when the enemy comes to me and tries to bring me down..I have to get up..and I have to make myself get up..because I think about the happy things of my sister..of her laughter..of her whit..she was so whitty..and so funny..and I think of all the loved ones that she is with now in heaven..so that encourages me ever so much..because I know that if I don’t change my thinking then I will be a mess at that..so please think of the good that they brought..the happiness and the happy moments and times that you shared..and just know that we all will see our loved ones again one day..when the good Lord calls us away to our forever home in heaven..Amen..so have the best day ever today..and if you reminisce..then by all means reminisce of all the good..Amen..because our lives still have to go on..and our loved ones would never want us to lay down and just give up..because they would want us to strive on and to be all that God is wanting from us while we are here..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
