This pic reminds me of my oldest sister!

This picture was sent to me in an e-mail and, for some reason, it reminds me of my sister, Pam. I'm not sure why. I guess I've just been thinking about her lately. October always has a way of bringing many memories of Pam. For one reason, October is breast cancer awareness month and I always think of her. Another reason is that she passed in October. It was 6 years ago this month that she went to be with Jesus in heaven. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday.

I miss her but I know I will see her again someday. I'm thankful to the Lord that he has given us that promise. In the meantime, I will always remember Pam as the sweet, loving, godly woman who once looked like this little girl. How grateful she was to God for His goodness to her. She was so amazed at God's grace toward her. She spoke of it often, especially near the end. Let's all remember how much God loves us and how he sacrificed His Only Son for us. One way we can show our love to God is by loving others, so make sure to tell someone today that you love them.....better yet, show them!
