The Ollie D. Sunday-Avant
Page of Reflections

There is an appointed time for everything, and there is a time for every event and a specific "appointed time,"  each of us knows the inherent truth of the
well-known Bible verse; One day, death comes to us and to everyone we love. This page is forever dedicated to my Mother, Ollie D. Sunday-Avant and all those we each bereave and can reflect upon.

A new life took its first breath on September 02, 1923 in Pensacola, Florida.  This opened the book of life for Ollie D Sunday, the youngest child of the late Amy and Frank Sunday Sr. Ollie accepted Christ at an early age and united with the Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church.  Where she enjoyed singing in the Senior Choir.  She was a dedicated and faithful member for over 7 decades.  She then joined Unity In The Family Ministry in 2004 to fellowship with her sons who serve as Pastors. In 1946, Ollie united in marriage to Lee Mason Avant Sr. and they remained faithful to each other until his death in 1974.  There loving union was blessed with 5 children.

When I Get To Heaven

by Emily McAdams

At last I reach my final home the gates swing open wide, I get a glimpse of glory I can't wait to get inside.
An angel beckons to me I hurry up to him He opens up a golden book and lets me look within.
I see my name is written on the page that he turns to He says you finally made it  I've been waiting here for you.
 He points in one direction and tells me to "go that way" So I start my tour of heaven at the place I get to stay.


I see the many mansions and walk the streets of gold And hear the angels praising God Just
like I had been told. And then I spot my loved ones They've been here many years We hug
and kiss each other-all smiles, there are no tears. I look around for Jesus I know he'll soon
appear. I want to kneel and praise Him He's the reason I am here. He took upon Himself my
sins He paid the price for me And by His victory over death He finally set me free.

Free from all my worldly sins and the evil Satan sent. Jesus came into my heart because
I did repent. I'll finally get to thank Him when I bow before His throne For all the times He
carried me when I  could not walk alone. I'll dwell with Him in heaven With no sorrow,
tears or pain. This was His promise to me when to this earth He came. There are many
mansions up here There's room for all of you . So to join us all in heaven I'll tell you what
to do. Accept Jesus as your Savior He will wash your sins away He's waiting here to greet
you when you join us here one day.
