This is an old picture. My oldest sister, Vic is the one in the navy tee shirt.
Today is Earth Day which means it's also the 10th Anniversary of the day my sister lost her battle with breast cancer. It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since I've heard her laugh or seen her smile. I can still hear her voice which is such a gift. Today I have a candle burning for her and I have these verses on my mind. She planned her own funeral and wanted this read since it meant so much to her! I miss her so much especially today! For all of you who have sisters, give them a call and tell them how much you love them!
Matthew 5:1-10
The Beatitudes
Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Thank you, Jesus for giving me Vic for the time she was here. How sweet it is to be loved by you!

Hi Angie, I have typed 2 comments and Blogger ate both - but maybe later they will mysteriously appear!
Will be thinking of you today and glad you have good memories - that's a comfort.
My sister Janet died unexpectedly in her sleep in November 2004 - a dreadful shock! I still miss her even tho I still have five wonderful sisters left.
Isn't it wonderful to have good memories and bright hopes of being together again?
With big joyful tears in my eyes....I celebrate the fact that you will see her again in heaven.
HALLELUJAH!
What a sweet post! And what comfort to know, we will see our loved ones again.
Hugs!

Angie, I too have a sister in heaven! She has been there 5 years! Your post brought back memories, so right now I'm crying and smiling! Thanks!
This brings tears to my eyes. I feel your pain. My hubby died 4 yrs ago.
Life is short. Thank God we have these special people in our lives for even a short time.
