A Champion Of Faith ;I Honor you My Uncle

A tribute to you my dear Uncle, you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith.

In my heart I have peace because I know you have gone home, now you know; now you understand; now you have Life.

You were brought to us to teach us patience, kindness, strength, forgiveness and love, a steadfast love.

You patiently understood us for in our human nature, we were quick to get tired, you were kind to us, not dwelling on anger or bitterness. We know you loved us, you loved us because we were your family,you loved your parents ,you loved your sisters and brothers ,you loved all regardless…We loved you too.

Yes your love for God was steadfast. I remember hearing you praying in your room.You did not ask why, you did not complain about how heavy the burden was, you just simply worshiped, with tears of reverence flowing down your face ,you honored your Creator.

You are a champion of faith. Not a single day did your faith waiver.You encouraged even those that were ‘stronger’ and helped those more ‘capable’. Your life is a testimony, a testimony of resilience, a testimony that we can Love God even in the darkest of nights….and so you will be crowned in Glory.

You are resting in Abraham’s Bosom. You are close to Jesus, walking in streets of Gold,laughing and singing,dancing and praising,hand in hand with our Lord and Savior. You can see familiar faces…Champions who went before you. You are now made whole, surrounded with Love, perfect Love, for God Is Love.

We will miss you Uncle but we strive to fight the good fight and we will see you again.

Luv Ish
