Spring Semester 2011 is now a part of my History

Spring semester 2011, will be recorded in my history book as one of the most challenging semesters that I have completed. The amount of work during the semester was humongous and I had limited time to complete all the work that needed to be done. Nevertheless, with the help of God and the support that I received from family, coworkers, and friends I was able to finish the semester. All my hard work and sleepless nights paid off in the end. So at this time, I want to give thanks to God and to all of you that supported me during spring semester 2011. I could not have been successful without your help.

This song is dedicated to all of you who have been there for me:

I Can't Live A Day Without You


I love all of you dearly!!! You know who you are. May God grant all of you a triple portion of blessings!!

A Tribute to My Friend June

Many years ago when I was a teenager I met a girl by the name of June. I do not remember exactly how we met but I have always remembered her kindness towards me. June had a good heart and today she is still as caring towards people as when I met her in the 1970s. Today, I had the privilege of telling June thanks for showing me love and kindness in my teenage years.

June genuinely cares about people and when you are around her she makes you feel comfortable. June welcomed me into her home many years ago, and I felt that her home was my home too. While going home from school each school day, I had to pass June's house. Many evenings I would stop at her house and read some of her books and also have dinner. There was no time limit to my staying at her house. I could  stay as long as I wanted. I have never felt a negative energy around June. She is the most selfless and accepting person that I know. June has that special gift of accepting an individual for who he or she is. Throughout my life I have always thought about her and the impact she had on my life. June is non-judgemental and will only build up a person.

June helped to enhance my reading skills in my teenage years by lending me many books. She loved to read and had many books at her home. I also loved to read and she readily let me borrow her books. She constantly bought books so I had many books to read just for fun.

I had lost contact with June for many years and only found her on Facebook two days ago. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to find her and to be able to express to her how thankful I am that she was such a positive part of my life.

Today, I am thankful to God that I have found June, and I pray that God will continue to bless her and use her mightily for His honor and glory. May her life be long and prosperous!  May her days be filled with a double portion of blessings, and may she continue to be a shining light from God as she helps others. Amen.

A Little Word

A little word in kindness spoken,
                                   
 A motion or a tear,
                                         
Has often healed the heart that's broken!
                                      
And made a friend sincere. ~ Author Unknown
