Ms. Anna Nicole Smith 1967-2007
February 9th, 2007 at 09:17pm Manchild
On bended knee, I’m asking all who got up and showed up on day 40 of 2007 to pray that the dearly departed soul of Ms. Anna Nicole Smith is finally resting peacefully in the serenity of the love that fills our Father’s house. Since our Father does not desire that any of His children should perish, neither should we. Matters not if you didn’t like Ms. Smith. Matters not if you vehemently disagreed with her dramatic lifestyle or her personal preferences and choices. But God didn’t ask any of us to “like” her.
Maybe I’m mistaken, but didn’t God, with specificity, command all His children to love and forgive the antagonistic, unlovable people we may not like? Imagine what would happen if every member of humanity’s global village exercised our free will to live, love, and lead by example as courageously as Jesus Christ did over two thousand years ago. Maybe Ms. Anna Nicole Smith and her son, Mr. Daniel Smith, would still be alive today.
It is my prayer that Ms. Smith, and her son Daniel, are making a joyful noise while dancing on “happy feet” in God’s presence because they now know how it feels for somebody to love them unconditionally. For those of you who are grieving the tragic loss of yet another great person at such a crucial age and critical stage of their development, I offer to you the beautiful lyrics to the song, “Imagine Me,” by Mr. Kirk Franklin. For now, I pray that imagining Ms. Anna Nicole Smith singing the words to this inspiring song will help to ease the pain you feel right now until God’s love can heal your broken heart.
Since it has been said that Ms. Anna Nicole Smith also had a wonderful sense of humor, maybe she’d also want us to celebrate her homecoming with a laugh on the day after her homecoming. Maybe now, Ms. Smith, and Mr. Daniel Smith, have finally been given the love and the significance they kept searching for all of their lives. For now, I can only imagine their saved souls doing the happy feet dance across streets paved with gold. Only God knows what will happen to the 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Smith, Anna Nicole is leaving behind. Before you leave this place today, please say a prayer for this innocent child’s future.
Until we meet again, challenge yourselves to impact the history-making lives of the men, women, and children you come into contact with in a positive, unforgettable way. As always, the choice to live, love, and lead by example as Jesus did to give all who believe in Him an opportunity to receive the greatest gift of all is yours alone to make. As always, I’ll challenge you to accept the grace of God by faith because I choose to love you as Jesus loved me — unconditionally.
