THERE...I SAID IT!
A couple of days ago, I would gladly have traded her for a moldy slice of swiss cheese. We had battled, mostly quietly, about some non-issue. I felt my back rise, on cue. And, before I knew it, I was ready to ship out, or trade her.
Strange. We've been together forever...37 years, all told. Married fo r35. Yet, it sometimes only takes a word, misplaced, from one of us or the other, to seemingly derail all the affection we've shared all these years.
Luckily, the storms usually pass as quickly as they began. And, after all these years, they leave very little residue.
Still...
I wonder what it will be like in Heaven, where we will be remade perfect? Our tempers eliminated, we will see only what God meant us to be in each other. What He, in His loving eyes, sees in us daily. What will that be like?
Personally, I look forward to it. If anything, I'm really tired of my own weaknesses, of falling in the same old ways, failing her and the Lord..can't seem to quite get it right here.
Someday, though, we'll look into each others eyes and see pure love, pure God.
Wow!
YOU GET THE POINT!!!

I love thinking of life as if we are just pilgrims passing through to our real home. Don't need to get too attached to things here. This is not as good as it gets. Thanks for the post dad!
