Twin Hearts

One of the things that I found out about my husband when we first met was that he and I were born on the same day, four years apart.  Seems like yesterday that I was throwing him his 30th birthday party.  By then we were married.  We only had one child.  Fast forward twenty years and six more children and that is where we are today.  Our love is so much deeper than it was when we wed.  Going deep sometimes hurts at first and involves pain, but in the end it gives strength to the bond.

God has given me a new perspective since Caleb died and that is an even stronger desire to be in Heaven.  I don't think that the thought of dying was ever a big fear of mine, but now I look forward to it more than I did before.  I have always said...one year closer to Heaven

I love my life here on earth and feel very blessed.  I look forward to many more years here on earth with my husband and earthly children, Lord willing.  When the time comes though, I will run into my Saviors arms and also embrace my child who I have lost from this earthly life.

Another year older and another year closer.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b]  Psalm 145: 3-5
