I Remember

Created by odion odion 10 years ago
Bro! I remember sometime in November precisely November 15th 2013, we shared a room together during the Sons of Abraham Annual Retreat at the Aberdeen Hilton Treetops Hotel. I remembered how you pour yourself out to encouraged me not to worry about my visa, you told me how your passport stayed with Home office for a year and six months during which time you didn't work and how God saw you through. I also, remembered you told me clearly just like yesterday that if Jesus could raise Lazarus from the dead after four days and if God could saw you through your difficult moment my issue was nothing compared. That night without you knowing, you brought hope, inspiration, encouragement and lifting to my soul. Again, I remember just like yesterday, on the 24th of December 2013, when my wife and I were writing our to-buy list for the Christmas, your call came through that you're coming to my house. Few minutes later you were in my house with a bag of rice and a carton of indomee (Paster). You didn't gave us time to say thank you, you left in a hurry; you were a God sent for our Christmas. A Santa to my daughter. Thank you! I should've been able to say a proper farewell to you if I knew you were going to be with The Lord because the Wednesday before you passed on I sighted you from my inner mirror while parking and I was like I'll see you after service but I couldn't due to activities. Not too long that same week I receive the news with great shock that you've gone to be with The Lord. I want to specifically thank you for coming into our lives, you were very much present with us during our darkest moments, your words of encouragement and your smile were a source of hope to us. We will definitely miss you. Although, your life was so short, you left a foot print in our hearts. I pray God give us the grace to bear this irreparable loss Adieu bro! We will surely miss you!! Rest on!!! I am rest assured that you are with The Lord. Odion.
