I could talk about the negatives that happened today, but God is good and I will focus on the good. This is supposed to be about testimony right?
The Lord has blessed me the opportunity to meet my cousin. My dad's oldest brother died in his 20's when he got out of the military. When he died, his fiancé was pregnant and she was denied acknowledgment from my grandfather (one I never met). Her mother raised her alone and some where along the line she moved to Louisiana. After her mother's death, she decided she wanted to find her dad's side of the family and had first contact with my second oldest sister.
She is here touring and meeting others in the north eastern US for the first time and it is wonderful. Never did I think it was cool to have my dad's eyes until now. All of his seven siblings have the same eyes. I have them. My brother and two sisters have them. A boat load of cousins, children, and just about 99 % of those who bear our family last name have them.
She has them.
She's one of us and it's cool that we can identify this way. God makes us amazing, even when we choose to do crazy stuff (but that's a story for another day).
I met a cool cousin and it really is a pleasure
