"Sometimes He comes inrepparttar clouds, sometimes His face cannot be found, sometimesrepparttar 126731 sky is dark and gray, but some things can only be known, and sometimes our faith can only grow, where we can't see, so, sometimes He comes inrepparttar 126732 clouds.

Sometimes He comes inrepparttar 126733 rain, and we questionrepparttar 126734 pain. And wonder why God can seem so far away, but time will show us, He was right there with us..."

That wasrepparttar 126735 greatest moment in my life, and I will never forget it. I have such a love for life and I find such a joy in helping others enjoy life. Those clouds that night, wererepparttar 126736 spirit of God teaching me how to walk by faith, they reminded me that God is there. It isrepparttar 126737 greatest feeling inrepparttar 126738 world to know that God is with you always, even though it may seem like He is far away. Since then, I have never seen a cloud, without thinking about Him or that cool August night.

Written by Irvin L. Rozier


Continued from page 1

She always appreciated her neighbors and would say, "Thank God for my good neighbors." I remembered one time I carried her a mess of butternut squash, and she cooked me one ofrepparttar best pies I've ever tasted. She baked it out of love...that's what made it so good!

Inrepparttar 126729 year 2002 I noticed she was becoming frail and losing weight. She told me she was tired and wanted to rest. In a few months, she found out she had cancer, but she still didn't let that defeat her. After a few weeks inrepparttar 126730 hospital, she came back to her beautiful house where she wanted to be.

In early July, 2002, I dreamed I went over to see her. I looked in her bedroom, but she was not there. I awoke fromrepparttar 126731 dream and said, "Lord, you are about to bring Mrs. Kelly home, aren't you?" The Lord replied, "Yes, her work on earth is about completed."

I began to cry for her. A few days later, I went over to her house and had a good visit with her. She said, "Irvin, I want you to sayrepparttar 126732 last prayer for me." A few days later, she went on to be withrepparttar 126733 Lord. At her gravesite, I hadrepparttar 126734 privilege of prayingrepparttar 126735 last prayer for her."

She was a virtuous woman. One of strong character graced by her humble, compassionate spirit. Every time I look at her house and seerepparttar 126736 flowers blooming, I thankrepparttar 126737 Lord I was her neighbor, and she was a part of my life.

Psalm 116.15 "Precious inrepparttar 126738 sight ofrepparttar 126739 Lord isrepparttar 126740 death of his saints."
