It's been a sad week for us at school. Earlier in the week, a beloved retired educator, Georgienne, passed away. Then on Friday morning, a colleague of ours, Marlene, also passed away. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for the loss of these two women. Our staff is a caring community. There will be a hole in our hearts as we mourn the loss of these souls that we were privileged to call friends.
Even though sadness prevails at times like this, as Christians we also know there is an incredible amount of joy. When we pass from this world we are not really gone...we are transformed into new life! No more pain, no more struggle. We can rejoice that Georgienne and Marlene are celebrating their new life!
God truly is our Rock, our Salvation. Things of this world are temporary, at best. Only God is there for us always, forever.
So, even in our sorrow, we WILL praise you Lord! We will praise You for being our Rock, our Salvation! As I listen and immerse myself in prayer while listening to the two videos below, I truly do praise God for everything...even the hard, sad times.
These two videos are original songs performed by Francesca LaRosa. She has a voice of praise and thanksgiving! I also very much enjoy the piano focus of the video! There is another video on the YouTube channel linked above that is an interview with her from four years ago.
She has another YouTube channel where I found the 2nd video, "Let It Shine."
