What is the definition of beauty and talent? Whitney Houston! Miss Whitney Houston had beauty inside and out. I myself have a lot of love and respect for Miss Houston. I really cannot find the words to express the why I feel. Well…. Let me try…
Dear Whitney,
First giving honor to God because He is worthy to be praised. I trust this will find you at your best, standing taller than the tallest tree and feeling stronger than the strongest bull. As for myself, at first I was lost, empty and hurt because a part of me was gone… you! And we never had a chance to say good-bye, to take the handkerchief out to wipe my eyes. Although I’m older, you were my younger idol. You gave me life when life was not worth living. Through your weakness you, my friend, gave me strength. We both kind of come from the same walk of life. We both have a talent for singing.Regardless of what we sang, we both had on the armor of God. When we sang out, our voices rolled over the still awakened waters, down through the deepest valleys and up, around and over the highest mountains and floating on the softest, fluffiest, purest white cloud through the heavenly gates into the ears of our higher power. That’s what I feel when I sing and I know by the way you sound. You did, too! I cannot question why you left so suddenly because, in reality, it wasn’t. First, you weren’t ours at all. God just lent you to us from the beginning for a while, and He knew the exact day and time He was going to take you back home, even though you didn’t know. I never met you personally, but from what I heard and saw, you were a lot like me: fun loving, kept people laughing, willing to give someone the shirt off your back. Don’t laugh, but I can remember when I gave this woman the sweatshirt off my back to put on her dog because he was cold and shivering. An- other thing we had in common was drug addiction we were recovering from. Those who have never been there don’t understand. It is an illness you will have the rest of your life. You
just don’t have to act on a feeling, and being in the business, you were under the pressure and
all. It was hard, but heck, we don’t need the approval of any human if you give it to God. He understands that it’s all that matters. All have come short of the glory of God. Everyone is addicted to something whether it is eating, shopping, etc. It could have happen to the average person. To take a prescribed medication can relax you mentally. If you then get in hot bath water, you relax physically. If you go underwater, all of you is relaxed. Physicians know that they are not to give recovering addicts narcotic drugs, but it’s just a business to them. Someone was to be with you at all times. What they gave you at the Grammys was utterly ridiculous, but, then again, our reward is in Heaven. You go ahead and get your reward now, and let the angels fly you to Heaven with you heavenly wings, and lay down in the bosom of God, and rest yourself. You’re long over due, and you owe it to yourself. You’ve done good in your Earthly walk of life. Don’t worry about a thing. I know you’re alright; I’m alright. This kind of reminds me of this song: “I come to the garden alone. While the dew is still on the roses and the voice I hear falling in my ears the son of God discloses. As we walk with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own and the voice we hear as we tarry there, none other has ever known.” May God bless and keep you wrapped in his arms.
Peace my friend,
Veda, Vendor
