God, you can now release your servant; release me in peace as you promised. With my own eyes I’ve seen your salvation; it’s now out in the open for everyone to see: A God-revealing light to the non-Jewish nations, and of glory for your people Israel. (Luke 2:29)

Like so many this morning, my heart remains dull and hurting as through personal loss. My beloved Queen, and sister in Christ has left us and passed on over into Glory.

Like us all, she suffered through annus horribilis, and like us all, she had 'family issues,' and yet throughout it all, she didn't hide her light under a bushel; in fact, the continued profession of her Faith in Jesus, the Christ of GOD remained her true legacy - and a beautiful encouragement to us all.

Thank you Father for the Queen you gave us, a wonderful woman of substance - and I pray with so many today, GOD save the King.
