Every year the month of October sends me through so many emotions. My grandfather's, the late Rev. John Allen III, birthday is at the end of this month. It is specifically on October 31st. My grandfather passed away when I was just about to turn 13 years old. He was the most wise and strongest man I knew. Of course, I felt like I was his favorite grandchild. I could always remember him being there for me at my lowest and my highest points in life. In those short 13 years of life, he taught me about forgiveness, praying, and always being positive. I can never remember him being angry at all. I don't know if it was because I was so young, or because he was my pawpaw. I keep a picture of him in my car and in my room. I truly believe he is my guardian angel because when I can't talk to my mom, I talk to him. The one thing I remember most about him was his love for others, even those who would misuse him. I encourage those of you who are reading this today, to find it in your heart to provide forgiveness to those who have misused you. Find it in your heart to let go of any bitterness, strife, or anger you have towards others. I also encourage you to find your guardian angel. It will make your entire day life more peaceful.
