God's daughter Angela, and God's son Jesus
I shared the following words at the memorial service for Angela Michelle Wilson , at Oak Forest Baptist Church, in Jackson, Mississippi, on February 6, 2016. Today is a celebration. Do you remember how easily Angela celebrated? Her smile? How easily she could love people? Do you know why? Angela would want you to know why she smiled so often! At the family’s request, I want to share with all of you why she smiled so much… why she loved so easily. As I tell you why, I want you to notice two stories happening at the same time: God’s story of his son Jesus, and God’s story of his daughter Angela. PART 1 – CREATION These stories start in the beginning. As in, the very beginning. The beginning of the Bible describes how our world came into existence. It says, “In the beginning, Godcreated the heavens and the earth.” Some of the things we all love – sunsets, a summer rain, loving animals, majestic mountains, the sound of waves on the beach – God made them all.
