LOVE this quote!

“I know God is real because I talk to Him every day.” — Dolly Parton

Today, the world lost Dolly Parton at the age of 80. (Reuters⁠)

What a beautiful soul and what an incredible life.

Most people will remember the music, the unmistakable voice, Dollywood, the humor, and that sunny disposition that seemed to make everyone around her smile. But her legacy was so much bigger than entertainment.

She never forgot where she came from in Tennessee. Through her Imagination Library, she helped put millions upon millions of books into the hands of children. She gave generously to people in need, supported disaster relief and medical research, and used the success she had been given to bless others. (Reuters⁠)

By so many accounts, she remained kind, gracious, funny, and deeply grateful throughout her life.

Today, we pray for her rather than simply remember her.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Lord, have mercy on her soul and welcome her into the reward You have prepared for those who love You.

Rest in peace, Dolly. 🙏
