This is my friend Cheryl.
She was witty,extremely gifted in music ministry playing th flute like and angel and having a voice(as Bethany would describe) like a canary. Recieveing the nickname from Bethany as Cheryl Canary. When Cheryl sang everything was quiet and when she played the flute your heart burst with breathtaking joy. Why? because she used her gifts for the Lord.Devoted to use her remarkable talents for His glory. Cheryl was part of a ladies friendship group called F.A.N club. F.A.N is an acromyn for Faith Covenant, Arise Ministries,and New Life church.The churches that we all attend.
Cheryl had a contagious smile and was dearly loved by many.
She is with the Lord now and as we continue the fellowship we ponder her absence and say things like"Cheryl would have liked this". I imagine her playing for the Lord in heaven and the Lord saying "bravo,my good and faithful servant".
Cheryl's sister said that she imagined Cheryl in a boat sailing across a calm body of water and waving goodbye to all of us. On the other side there were many friends and family waiting to recieve her and we all would say,not goodbye,but see you soon.
I am making a canary cross stitch for all the ladies in our friendship group as a gift to remember the gift that Cheryl was to us.
The bible says in Luke 17:33 'Whoever holds on to their life will loose it, but if you give your life up you will keep it for what does it profit a man to gain his whole life,yet loose his own soul'.
Thank you Cheryl, for giving your life to the Lord and sharing it with us.
