Or as the Bible says, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" ( Hebrews 6:19).17 avenue du Hoggar Parc d’ activit´es de Courtabeuf, B.P.
He promised He would be "close to the brokenhearted" ( Psalm 34:18). Oh, this Jesus I've talked about, written about, believed in all these years has come closer and become more real to me than ever before. Through all my darkest hours, my loneliest moments, the peace has never been shaken. That peace - along with that certain hope of a forever spring after this cold winter - is a powerful counterbalance on the scale so weighed down by grief. "My peace I give you.do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" ( John 14:27). It's what He promised in His disciples' darkest hour. Experiencing His promise that "he who believes in Me will live, even though he dies" ( John 11:25). As much as I love Karen, she is now with the One who loves her most. For those who've pinned all their hopes on the One who died so we could go there. The hope that holds my heart together is as sure as our hope that spring will follow a seemingly endless winter. Who trampled death as He blasted out of His grave on Easter morning.
Not "cross your fingers" hope, but living hope. In God's own words, we have "a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" ( 1 Peter 1:3). Because Karen's Savior is alive, so is this woman I love. He said of those who have put their total trust in His death on the cross for their sins, "Because I live, you will live also" ( John 14:19). In the darkest, most devastating days of my life! But I'm now living its ultimate validation.Įverything I've ever believed, ever taught about my Jesus is true! Everything my death-crushing Savior promised, He delivers. Actually, it's the Story I've tried to tell folks my whole adult life. I've probably shed more tears in the past two weeks than I've shed in the rest of my life.īut I have a story to tell. He ran back to his mother and said, "Mommy, you were right. I turn to tell her about a conversation or situation - or to hear her trademark laugh at one of my dumb jokes.īut our four-year-old grandson said it all the first time he ran into our living room and saw her chair empty. I go to make the oatmeal she loved for breakfast. But as I walk into our living room, I still instinctively look for her beautiful hair - her "crown of glory" - in her favorite blue chair. Wrapped in a huddle of sobs with our three adult children, I choked out, "It hurts so bad." It really does. Giving a faith-filled valedictory speech. Sunday night, we sat in the bleachers at our local football stadium and watched our grandson graduate from high school.

Suddenly, I have to figure out how to do the rest of my life without her. I've done my whole adult life with my Karen, the only woman I've ever needed.
