Galatians 1:15-16, “But when
God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His
grace, was please to reveal HIS SON IN ME…”
Though I have only known
Robert Franklin a couple of short years, I truly love this man, and when he was
lucid he always had a smile for me. I don’t know his life’s story, I don’t know
his living conditions, or his mental capacity or illness. But I do know that
more than once Robert inspired me to be more like Jesus.
His stories were hilarious.
His painting bazaar. His dress straight out of a dumpster most days.
His begging always hurt me
because I didn't have more to give. And I am so going to miss the smile
response of buying him a cup of coffee, or some other confection.
Robert has finished the race,
he ran it well. I suspect when I arrive in heaven he will ask me to buy him a
cup of coffee, and then laugh at the ridiculousness of the request.
I love you Robert, and will
see you again my friend.
