Frank, Lucy, Mandy, Caiman, Nana and extended family ~ you are in my thoughts and prayers. You all were so special to me. I’m so glad that through Jeremy I was able to know and come to love you all. You will always be my family in Christ. Love you all ~ Miki

This morning I awoke to the strong prompting of the Holy Spirit to write down these words as he gave them to me. I was able to get in touch with Jeremys friend Dennis and he contacted Jeremys sister for permission to share these words with you. I say this to not boast of myself but to boast in the Lord(1Cor26-31) for the words you are about to read come from the Spirit for you. May they bless you and heal you. It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit touch your heart today as you read this and you recieve the Lord as your Saviour if you do not know him.

I would like to thank the Welch family for there permission to share this with everyone. May the healing power of Our Lord Jesus Christ rain down on you all.


-----

I buried my friend today
his smile I shall miss
The way he would say "Good morning"
would give me such a lift

Even though I am saddened
by the loss of my friend
I know in my heart
I will see him again

Let me reassure you too
that he is with our Lord
for only hours before his death
to him his sins he bore

The Lord reminds me of a day
when Jeremy looked at me
I told him what was different
and what God was doing in me

I realize now
that one little seed
was just the beginning
of the seeds of many

He too would come to believe

It was a choice
He had to make
Him, and Him alone

The decision to follow Christ
Is Yours, and Yours alone

I buried my friend today
his smile I shall miss
But I will see him again
I rest my life on this!

--------

To my friend Jeremy,
I rejoice in knowing I will see you again.
Your brother in Christ
