Greetings!

I praise God for His loving presence, and for the care He takes with us. I love how He watches over our hearts. He understands our pain and our struggles. He also knows just what we need and when we need it.

Losing my sister and niece earlier this year was a devastating blow for my family, but with the grace of God each day is getting better and better. The thing that helps to make it a little easier is that they both loved the Lord…and when you think about it, we are all just passing through. They both lived their lives in service to others. They enjoyed working with children, and giving back to the community. Their love for others have sewn seeds into the lives of our family that will prayerfully pass on from generation to generation.

Yesterday, my family participated in a musical fundraiser for a local inner-city school. The event was in honor of my sister and niece who both loved children, and music. The atmosphere was filled with people who loved them. It was really a blessing to be among folks who could see the vision. Everyone there understood that it takes a village to help raise our children, and they didn’t mind dedicating their time, their talents, and their funds in helping to make this organization successful. The organization is called Positive Youth Expressions, Incorporated, and their mission is to help children reach their full potential musically and academically.

We were all blessed by the performers who donated their time and talents to this event, and I pray that everyone who participated will reap a harvest of God’s blessings. I am already looking forward to doing this again next year!

Until next time…

Be blessed!
