You were a mighty tree, and under your cover, we found shelter that nourished us and gave us the courage to believe that nothing is impossible if we believe and work towards it.
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you REST.”

1 year on.
You Remain.
Faithful. True. My Help.
Keep your hand on me.
And don't let me go.
I keep walking to you.
🤍
In memory of a friend and an iconic servant leader....a man who taught me a lot about living a purposeful life, and that a person’s a person no matter how small.
I truly miss him.
