I wrote this when I was still an Active Duty Army wife. I think, though I can’t be sure, that I wrote it during one of my husband’s many deployments to dangerous places. I think it’s obvious when you read it why I wrote it. Sometimes you need to remind yourself of some basic truths. Or I do! I need to reaffirm what I believe and just know it in my deepest self, in my heart and soul. So, here you go! I’m glad I found this. Retirement has really given me time to look through a lot of my old notebooks and files on the computer, too. Even on floppy disks I have had for a couple of decades! And this is one of the pieces I found. May it encourage you. May it strengthen your resolve to be the best supporter of your spouse that you can be. May you remember fondly and with gratitude that God loves you both. Turn to the Lord, rely on God. It really is the “better way.”
Love binds us together
It overcomes despair
Joins across miles
Endures beyond time
Abides in Heaven
Reaches down to earth
Sees through the clouds
Rejoices in our happiness
Comforts in our sorrow
Marries two hearts
Cannot be destroyed
Is everlasting
Reunites in eternity
Love is of God
God is Love
