I worked late tonight….. and for some that will come as no surprise. myDarlin’Robert Kenui Pope and I always lived by the motto ‘Work hard, Play hard’ and he was always very understanding when it happened. It gave him time for more well deserved naps and time to play his bass before going out when I would get home.
This evening as I sat at my desk, the lights on our floor went out. I got up to turn on the lamp in my office and noticed the beautiful view from my window. The rays pouring out from behind the clouds reminded me of the sermon at church this past Sunday.
Pastor Denise spoke of perseverance and the important role it plays in our lives. There will come a moment that we will be in the presence of the Lord and those who have gone before us, but until we get there, let’s make our time here on earth count. Perseverance is a choice that each one of us makes. As we face trials and tribulations, we must embrace it, and preserve with it and through it.
At the end of her sermon, Pastor Denise came to where Michelle, Becca and I were sitting and then spoke specifically to them, “Your father is now in the great cloud of witnesses, and he’s cheering you on. It’s ok to grieve, but remember to get up, get moving in what God has called you to do.” I know this message is for me, all of our kids and Ohana… Get up and get moving in what God has called you to do.
As she spoke of the cloud, I remembered what Robert would say to me so many times after a performance. “I really wish you could see the view from up here, you can see everyone and everything.”
Today I am grateful for the seeing myDarlin’ in the clouds as he cheers us on through faith and joy, like the rays of light reflected in the sky.#GoodNiteKenui
