" God Never Make Mistakes "
To Cindy and Family:
As God looked down from his heavenly home and searched his beautiful Earthly Garden, he begin to water the beautiful flowers which he had created. He begin to water them, purge them and purify them but upon doing so God saw that your mother was getting weak. He picked her up and begin to nourish her back to health but he then saw that she was tired from the IV's and Pain. (Her beautiful petite body wasn't her body anymore). Your Mother was ready to leave her earthly home. He talked to her and she whispered back to him in her soft weak voice, Father, I Love my husband and children and will miss them dearly but I will always be there in " Spirit" whenever and where ever they need me. Her heavenly Father took her by the hand, and whispered back to her, Rose, " I will be with you always, my child; I will never leave you nor forsake you." You have been Faithful over many things on Earth but here I will make you ruler over many things. To the family God Make no Mistakes, may he strengthen you during this time of sorrow and keep you in his care, Remember his words always, " I can Do All Things Through Christ who Strengthens Me " keep this scripture with you always and know that Rose loved you all very much.
Rose
