Caleigh, words from Heaven

well my dear ones,

It's easy to take time for granted,

to think to ourselves,

"oh yeah, I'll get to that...someday."

Hence, we don’t meet everyone we'd like to

because we tell ourselves

we have plenty of time...

Today I had to go to a funeral for a friend,

actually for his daughter, Caleigh;

although I worked with her Dad,

I had never met Caleigh,

yet I "met" her today;

she spoke to me from Heaven;

and through the voices of those she loved,

those who loved her,

I heard her spirit quite clearly.

Caleigh only lived to be 17,

so her friends are young;

it's hard for people of any age

to get up and speak in public,

so I give them a lot of credit

for many of them did;

and while some broke down in tears

at the conclusion of their piece,

that only added a strong testimony

of the depth of their love

for their friend.

One spoke of being lonely,

and Caleigh was there to be a friend;

one spoke of having no lunch,

and Caleigh shared hers with her;

one spoke of being trapped in her shell,

and Caleigh broke her out of it.

one spoke of how whenever he was down,

Caleigh would lift him up;

many spoke of how Caleigh was full of smiles,

and loved to share them,

and how she always had a kind word to say

about everyone.

Thank you, Caleigh; message received;

you didn't just talk it;

you lived the Jesus thing

(love God; love others);

you lived your whole life loving others;

and by putting joy into their lives,

you gave us an example of how to live.

May God bless and keep you.

grace, peace, and love to you,

dave



"And God shall wipe away all tears
 from their eyes;
 and there shall be no more death,
 neither sorrow, nor crying,
 neither shall there be any more pain:
 for the former things are passed away."
