Sunbeams
illumine our room
filtering
through the dusky morning
to
fall on the face of my beloved.
How
beautifully have You assigned my life,
Oh
Lord.
and
what rapture my heart feels
as
I look upon my lover.
All
of Heaven surely erupts in a sweet song;
a
melodious joining of voices.
-Angels
raising the rooftops-
A
future of promise lies
in
the hand I hold.
What
wonderful knowledge.
What
divine tenderness.
What
extraordinary love.
It’s
Valentine’s Day. I used to shudder a bit, put on a brave face and march through
the day. After my late husband died I was adamant I would not marry again. I
had things to do for God. I had plans. Anyway, who could take the place of one
you had matured with, found the Lord with and muddled through all the ‘growth’
pains with?
But God.
When the
Lord told me I would marry again & introduced me to the handsome man I
would spend the senior years of my life with I was intrigued but stubborn. What
about my plans, God? Trust Me. What about Africa? Trust Me. But, I just
bought a home & new furniture…But, But, But… Trust Me.
I found
out that God does not ‘replace’ but ‘enhances’ love. Today I stand next to this
incredible person, shrouded in the Holy Spirit, so full of life and love and
tenderness; so thankful I said yes to God and yes to Roy. Appreciative of their
patience as I inhale a joy I haven’t known in a very long time. After
many years of battling grief, I stand next to my hunk-a-burnin’-love and face
the future with my hand securely in His knowing that whatever God has for us we
will have an adventure in running after it.
Trust
Me.
Oh, I am
so thankful I did.
