It’s been along time since I’ve written anything. But daily
I encourage myself in the Lord and thank him for keeping me. In the last five
years I have been silently weeping over my husband’s health issues. Always
praying that God would restore his sight as well as his mental state. During
this time, I learned of things that would normally destroy a marriage as well
as the person; however, I could not leave him in the state that he was in and
have a clear conscience so I talked with my Savior. I learned how to love and
forgive in the way that Christ would have me to. Many nights my heart was
hurting and bleeding but God did a miraculous thing he showed me favor by
pouring love into me in ways I did not understand.
He is now in the nursing home. Memories have caused the
bleeding to stop and the weeping to cease. I feel as if I have come through a
metamorphose and my wings are getting stronger every day. I realize that each
phase of life is but a fleeting moment. What we do in each phase determines the
outcome of the next. I am in the season of life that has three names; Autumn,
Fall and Harvest. Autumn brings the breath taking beauty of colors, fall brings
the gentle and quiet falling of leaves and harvest is the time of reaping.
Although somethings in my life are falling away I am still blessed to see that
the autumn of my life has some beautiful flowers and I am still reaping my
harvest of love.
