Sweet things

Two months....so hard to believe....in a way, it feels longer than that since I lost my dear and precious friend...It seems like it's been forever...I still love her, but I think more now than ever, as she's in a much better place, called Heaven. I pray that everyone would go there, but few do...and she was one of the few! I am so thankful for that!!! Whenever her family introduces me to someone, they always introduce me as 'This is Ari. She was Amy's best friend'...And I am so touched by that. Even though we rarely saw each other, we texted quite a bit, and we were always there for each other. We made each other laugh all the time. It was so much fun!!! I feel that I have taken her place in some people's lives, which I don't mind, but I know it definitely is not the same. Especially as I wasn't around her much. I may have been her best friend, but I feel that some people have had a much harder time....for me it was just an occasional visit, and texting alot, but for others, it was seeing her everyday. I feel for those people. She touched so many lives, it's amazing. She was only 15, but her love for Jesus shone, and she kept in touch with so many people. Her family is doing fine, but it has been so hard, as she did so much to help with their family of 8 children, now 7. Especially since the oldest got married exactly one week after the funeral. But now she is expecting a baby!!!! I pray that no one has to go through that again...almost losing  5 children was very hard for the family, but God was merciful and spared 4 of them, but called the other Home. She is now preparing a Home for her family, where the streets are paved with gold!!! How amazing would that be!!!! But I know that she finished her calling here on earth, and He has something planned for each of the other ones, that they were not injured worse than they were. It is a sweet thing to know Jesus and to have Him as your personal Saviour! I pray that each and every one of you has that chance to know Him, and that you take it. You have no idea what your missing, if you do not know Him!!! He gives you strength when you are weak, and peace when you are stressed, and hope in times of failure. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!~Miss Kindel
