"Just a Friend"

My friendship with Charles started as"Doorkeepers" in the House of God.  He was at Aimwell Missionary Baptist Church on the Usher Board and I was at Rock of Faith Missionary Baptist Church on the Usher Board.  We are Sister Churches, therefore, we fellowshipped often.  As we shared and ushered at many services, we talked about our children, Grands and other relatives, I discovered he worked at the same place with my son or better yet, my son worked with him because Charles and his brother were there for many years.  When I told him my son worked there and told him his name, he saidddd; "I will look out for him."  He did just that in many ways; whether it was correction or if someone treated him unjustly.  My son would always tell me that Mr. Charles looked out for me today and I certainly appreciated that because when you are young, you have to learn how to keep a job, if not, you will be moving everytime something happens.  My nephew was hired and reccommended by Charles also, so that is what I call "Passing it On."  I saw Charles in December on Christmas Eve at a Funeral and the first thing he asked; "how is your Son doing."  I told him that he was there also and they found each other, shared hugs, handshakes and conversation.   I never would have dreamed that it would be my last time seeing him, but it shows us; "We will never know the day or hour when he shall come."  - THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND
