Some of my fondest memories of being taught about our Grand Creator fills my mind with thoughts of Velma Henderson.
During the early 60’s we were neighbors. I would go to visit with her next door and sit at the dinning room table and have a cup of coffee. Mind you I was only 5 or 6 years old. Sister Henderson would pour a small amount of coffee into my cup and the rest with pet milk.
I didn’t like pet milk but because we were having a conversation while reading the daily text from the yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, it was ok.
Years passed and once again we were neighbors. She faithfully took me to the meetings, on Bible studies, and in the field ministry.
Her love for Jehovah was strong and always had first place in her life.
I am confident of this fact,
“ For God is not unrighteous to forget your works and the love you showed for his name…” Hebrews 6:10
With that scripture in mind, I am reassured of the Bibles promise of the resurrection, when the Son of God, Christ Jesus, calls my spiritual mom and sister, back to life on a clean new earth free from suffering and pain.
On that day I will immediately know her because she will have her hand on her hip and feisty as every!
Until then, I will be thinking about the first thing I will say to her, how long we will hug, and all of the things we will have to talk about.
I have comfort in knowing that she is safely resting in Jehovah’s memory.
