God Has Been With Us
Sunday was a special day for me - it was a sweet day. 57 years ago, Floyd and I said our "I do" to each other. I don't think either of us could have imagined what the future had in store for us. We've had a life of adventure - good times and hard times - ups and downs - victories and defeats. We've been together in sickness and in health as we pledged......both richer and poorer.
Those vows we say to each other are important - and they're tested! I promised to go where Floyd went.....and I did! To traveling and living out of a suitcase for 4+ years. To Afghanistan. To living on a houseboat, while pregnant, with a toddler and a puppy. To living in the red light district. To moving - lots and lots and lots of moving.
The one constant thing through it all is that God has been with us......faithfully, always, abundantly - with us! Day by day. Night by night. Never leaving us. Whatever we were going through, we knew He'd help us.
Last week as the "anniversary" of Floyd's passing came, someone sent me the photo above. My friend pointed out that in the photo (taken at an All Nations gathering in Taiwan) everyone was looking out to the ocean - except Floyd.....who was turned to me. I always knew I was loved and cherished by Floyd. That was so special to be reminded of that.
"The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord, and God delights in every step they take to follow Him. If they stumble badly they will still survive, for the Lord lifts them up with His hands. I was once young, but now I'm old. Not once have I found a lover of God forsaken by Him, not have any of their children gone hungry. Instead, I've found the Godly ones to be generous ones who give freely to others. Their children are blessed and become a blessing." Psalm 37:23-26 TPT
These special days mean so much to me. It's a good opportunity to reflect and remember - and thank the Lord for His faithfulness. I have so much to be thankful for.
