Her "Special Love" for her daughter Cydnee was exemplified as she not only "Talked the Talk" but "Walked the Walk", the greatest way to train ones child. God cannot do something THROUGH us, if He is not doing some-thing IN us!! Few promises are as precious to the child of God as that of "Eternal Life". It is the Crown Jewel of Salvation. While all those are truly saved are blessed to love, serve, and fellowship with the Lord through this brief earthly journey; that pilgrimage is made so much more precious by the comforting assurance that it will never end.
