Warm. Kind. Joyful. Bright. Lovely. Beautiful.
I met Jean at my shoe store years ago. She had such pain and problems with her feet. She wanted 'beautiful' shoes. She reminded me of my mom. Beautiful...with a strong sense of fashion. And grace.
Such grace!
She eventually started wearing more 'comfortable' shoes... with grace.
I showed up at Center Church one day and found her there. It surely was a glorious day and I knew I was where I belonged. That smile. It is what many will remember. Because it emitted warmth, kindness, love. All smooshed together.
I would have been a lucky person to have received just one of Jean's smiles. I received a soul full. She was such a gift.
Thank you Jean.
