About Anne Nailor, September 16, 1943-June 4, 2008

We are created in the image of God. We are all different, one from another. Each of us is unique.

Each of us has specific and particular shades and shadows, lines and textures of spirit, soul and body. The shades and shadows, the lines and textures were put there by God. When we're all seen together -- all the people He has called and will call to Himself over this long span of time He has set in place -- when we're all seen together we are a portrait of our God.

Each of us is unique. In our attempts to please others, sometimes we scar that "unique-ness." In our desire to be whatever it is that we think we're supposed to be we forget to be who God made us to be. Anne never did.

Anne was perseveringly Anne Nailor, and she was one of a kind, the only one of her kind, and she was always being and discovering who God made her to be.

Anne was a builder in the body of Christ. Her building blocks were notes and cards that carried words from the heart of the Lord Jesus to literally hundreds and hundreds of people all around the world. So far as I know, the notes and cards she sent were unerringly right on the mark.

Anne was a builder in the body of Christ. She didn't have nations in her heart -- she had people in her heart. By her notes and cards she built people, and because she built people she left a mark in the nations.

Anne remembered -- always -- to be and discover who God made her to be. She was perseveringly Anne Nailor. For this, I will remember her.
