Today I want to talk about my friend Sandra. Tuesday I went to her dad's funeral. It really bothers me that one of my friends parents died. It hits home to me, that one of my parents could be next. Death is hard for anyone to understand and it could happen to me at anytime.

I want to be ready. Please, God help me to know what I need to do to prepare myself for heaven. I don't want to miss heaven. Please, forgive me for all the things I have done wrong. Help me to make it right. I want to shine for others. I want to be a light to those around me. I feel like a tiger at times. I really need to be gentle as a kitten. Help me to be smiling all the time and not just when things are going well. Help me to do the right thing. I love you Jesus.

Amen
