remembering Bubba's birthday


He would have turned 82 today.
I can't even imagine what we would have been like.
We always had a big party.
He loved having his family gathered around him.

Sometimes, when I see other couples living their "old age" together, it makes me sad.
Being alone is hard.
I've outlived him by six years now.
I never thought about being without him.

But this is what God had for us.
He would go ahead to heaven, and I would learn the hard lessons
of what it means to trust God in the wilderness of widowhood.
I have to learn to walk by faith and not by sight.

I am so thankful!
I have learned so much.
I look forward to heaven and seeing him again.
I picture him among the great crowd of witnesses cheering me on.

Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
💙
