Debbie, my bride of almost 42 years, walked home hand in hand with our God last night around 9 pm. We were blessed to be there, Adrianne, Miranda, her sister Vicki and her husband Bill. While we are saddened that we will not have her next to us, or at the other end of a wonderful phone conversation, or the recipient of her thoughtfulness and concern for those she loved, we celebrate with great joy the victory of a life that doesn't end here but continues forever in the perfect relationship with a passionate, loving God through Jesus Christ.
Yesterday as Chaplain Brenda was with us, she picked up Sarah Young's 'Jesus Calling' and read the message/passage for May 19th. Here is an excerpt [written in the voice of Jesus to us, pulled from Holy Scripture]:
"I want you to know how safe and secure you are in My Presence. That is a fact, totally independent of your feelings. You are on your way to Heaven; nothing can prevent you from reaching that destination. There you will see Me face to Face, and your Joy will be off the charts by any earthly standards. Even now, you are never separated from Me, though you must see Me through the eyes of faith. I will walk with you until the end of time, and onward into eternity." From 1 Corinthians 13:12; Pslam 29:11
May Debbie's Jesus also bring you Joy through your tears knowing that through Him, we will one day see her again. As Sawyer, our oldest grandson said, "when we get to heaven and we see Bebe again, she will have things planned out for us to do together." He knows his grandma and he knows our God. 'nough said.
