TRIBUTE TO MY UNCLE God made the heavens and earth in 6 days. “He” rested on the 7th day. While “He” was resting “He” was thinking to Himself, “I” want someone that will be unique in his character, have a touch for building anything he can put his mind to, but most of all he will have a colorful way with words. God then touched a child that was still in the womb. Moses Smith was born. Moses Smith grew up in a large, loving family. As he grew, people could see something in this man. He has been touched by the hands of God. Moses would work from sunup to sundown. People were drawn to him. He was a great educator, wise beyond his years. His intelligence could not be placed in words. You knew in your heart this was a one of a kind man. On February 13 2015, God wanted a unique angel with him in heaven. He left and made a special place in heaven for this one of a kind angel. He then called Moses Smith home. This one of a kind angel will make heaven an even more special place.
