In the beauty of another day as sunlight meets the dew on the Roses,Rachel appears in one way or another in the lives of those in need

She moves with purpose, for she is a warrior clad in Christ and kindness,her heart is open like a book waiting to be read,each gesture a parable,each word a stepping stone

In conversations, visits, birthdays or more she pulls us from shadows,challenging our complacencies,a champion for the weary,her voice a clarion call to rise

Oftentimes, I think of the way she plants seeds in the soil of our hearts and lives then her heart nurtures us with beautiful smiles and laughter

Rachel,you are a blessing,not in the way the world counts blessings but in the way that Christ keeps record, and we are all reminded of the song:   ” when He was on the cross, I was on His mind”

letting us know that He indeed looked forward and knew who we would be blessed by

Thank you Rachel, that’s the least we can say!
