It was a year ago tomorrow that Jim passed away. Like any of us who have lost someone, sometimes it doesn't seem possible it has been a year; sometimes it seems like forever.
Am I sometimes sad? Sure! Am I glad that I met him, married him, and had a good life together? Yes! Do I miss him? Lots! Just thankful for 45 years, which could have been much shorter without modern medicine.
Here is a Bible verse for the day. My Bible says that the book of Psalms is divided into five parts. This verse is the last one in Part One:
"Bless the Lord, the God of Israel,
who exists from everlasting ages past---
and on into everlasting eternity ahead!
Amen and amen!
~ Psalm 41:13 LAB

As a writer and a wordsmith, I look at what it says: 'our God exists from the past and into the future'. Not past tense; still exists. How far? Everlasting past and ahead into eternity!
Good news! Nothing else in any of our lives last forever. God does!
And He takes Jim and Merry and anyone else who wants to be taken along with Him.......into eternity. Not just eternity.........but everlasting eternity!
Includes us all. And it is going to last forever!
Amen and amen to that!!
