Life After Losing a Loved One

On this cold November morning, the stillness is only broken by the breathing of my most cherished loved one. The question for me is how many more times will I hear that cherished sound? Of course, none of us know when that sound will end for any of us yet that can be scary and yet comforting.

Will this be the day that those sounds will end? I have no idea but based on conversations with her and how her health has started to fail more and more each day and sometimes each hour. I will still hurt like I have never felt before and yet she will be in eternity with The Lord Jesus Christ and that is all that truly matters.

So is today the day I really start to look at how life would be without her after all of these years? Probably……………………

God’s Timing Is Always Perfect

Here are the basics about time in our modern world. There are 24 hours in a day. There are 60 minutes in an hour. There are 1440 minutes and 86,400 seconds in a day. There you have it the basic break down of time in our modern world.

Guess what? None of that matters! The only time that matters is God’s and his timing is perfect in every way possible.

However, there does come a responsibility in the time God has given you on his earth. Then this leads us to one question.

How are you spending your time that God gave you on this earth? The thing is we are all guilty of wasting this precious thing called time.

The choice is up to all of us to decide how we want to use that time.

An Old Man And A Empty Hospital Room

An old man sat in an empty hospital room and pondered whether he had just said goodbye to the love of his life for the very last time. This has become routine in many ways over the years, but this time, it seemed different.

However, as he pondered more, something became clear about what the difference was this time. The difference was that the last song and video she had seen were of children singing. That in itself gave the old man a sense of peace that he had never felt before it and for that the old man meant everything.

The old man suspects that when those involved were working so hard on this masterpiece just a few days later it would have such a profound impact on an old man and the love of his life.

All Alone But Not Really

As I sit in our home it seems too large and empty for the one that makes it our home is still in the hospital fighting with every fiber of her being. As we spent time together this afternoon we shared memories of days gone by and the real seriousness of the issues we face regarding her health. I was able to show her a performance from the children at church this past Sunday and that made her so happy!

However, as another night falls upon us the tears will surely flow tonight for me I know that although I am physically alone in reality I am not alone at all.

You see, The Lord Jesus Christ is watching over me every single second.
