I have very little to say right now, maybe more will come.
Precious. She was very precious. Her name was Denise, she was a friend, she was a teacher, a mentor, a mom and a wife.
She was precious.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15
In 2005/2006 I was in preparation mode to take about 20 teens and a young adult male leader to Mexico. Denise, offered to give us 7 weeks of Spanish lessons. We jumped at her offer.
Every Thursday night for 7 weeks we gathered, (along with people who were serious about learning Spanish), and for 2 hours we had lessons from Denise.
I am sure we irritated her, we pushed her patience. We had a blast. It was some of the highlight of my students week. Who can forget Reid playing "Spanish Pictionary" and Can-tar?
Since that time we were friends--as much as I will allow an adult woman near enough to be a friend...let's be clear. Adult, Christian Women scare the crap out of me....she knew it--she was amazing.
Her battle with Cancer is over, she is with Vicki, with Jesus, partying it up in Heaven, it's a really important weekend here--although I don't know if they keep a calendar in Heaven, they must mark this weekend with importance right?
Denise, say hi to Jesus for me. Tell him thank you, He's been great. I am so thankful to have known you, to call you friend--but more importantly, I am thankful you are home.
We will be praying for M and M.
