As I left work today I noticed the yellow leaves starting to show on various bushes. I thought to myself tomorrow makes two years since my honey left to be with the Lord. I then thought about those yellow leaves and couldn't remember seeing such a simple beautiful thing two years ago. Two years ago, although the sun may have been shining, my life was so dark and dreary because I had lost the man I loved with all my heart. Amazing how a difficult time can have such an effect on the beauty around you. It occurred to me today that when my hubby passed it was spring but yet I was still stuck in a lonely, cold, depressing winter. Wow!! But only because of God could I notice today something as simple as small yellow leaves. Through it all I've truly come to understand how I really "can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". It's not my ability or my strength but it's the Lord in me and for that I'm eternally grateful. Yes my Lord has been faithful and somehow has helped me and Nikki to make it through. Somehow in the last two years He has helped us to find joy, strength, and hope. I truly do have so much to thank Him for because we've made it through. So tomorrow, although it's two years since Frank's passing, I'm going to take some time to enjoy the beautiful yellow leaves, the flowers starting to bud, the chirping of the birds, the beautiful blue sky and the life and future Nikki and I have before us because God still has a plan.
I miss my honey bun but overall, I'm doing okay. I have many memories to cherish, a beautiful, sweet daughter to love and to help her to be all she wants to be, all her Daddy and her Lord wants her to be so honestly, I can't complain. No matter how hard it's been, God continues to have a plan. I am who I am today because of what I've been through. I look forward to what God has planned for my life and for Nikki. I hold onto the scripture that says our later years will be better.
Thank you Jesus.
