Last Sunday

Last Sunday Bro. Fraley allowed the congregation to speak on Sis. Fraley's behalf. Everyone who chose to say a few words on how Sis Fraley impacted their life really showed what a wonderful person she was. Each person had their own story from her prayers, how she would call them down if they weren't doing what God had lead them too, all the shoes she wore in our church, and how she ministered to our families and so many more. I shared a few things but the one i will share with you is how she and of course Bro. Fraley ministered to my mom. A month before my mom passed away she had a stroke that put her in the hospital for a couple of days. During her time in the hospital Bro. and Sis. Fraley visited her and b/f they left she give her heart to God wholeheartly!!! During that last month of her life here on earth the girls and I would go to the Fraley's and swim 1 or 2 times a week. Everytime I would go, moma would go and just sit with sis Fraley, asking her questions and or just talking. Sis Fraley didn't have to sit in the heat to talk with her but that was a ministry and my mom grew in God in a short time b/c of it. B/c the Fraley's went to the hospital and b/c sis Fraley took the time with my mom they are in Heaven together today. It was quite emotional for me but I did okay. Kristen also wrote something down for me to read b/c she was too shy to get up there and say it herself. Basically it just stated that she was special and everyone loved her. She went to camp and helped them thru situations as she put it. Sis Fraley wouldn't want us to be sad, but happy. She loved and missed her. I thought it was very sweet and I read hers first so i would relax enough to say what i had to say.
