What if the world is not the true reality of life.
What if it is only a preparation for what is to come, a training ground for what is real.
We are learning to be kind, to selflessly give, and to see the best in others.
We are learning to celebrate our differences, gifts and talents, to embrace diversity.
We are learning to love our neighbor as ourselves.
I lost my dear husband of 43 years this week. I have never thought of heaven more than I have during this time. He lived his life in preparation for heaven. He loved selflessly and unconditionally. He put the needs of others before his own. I want to be more like him.
For the rest of my life I will be asking myself “What would Jim do?” because he was the closest person to living like Jesus that I have ever known. I want to emulate the way he loved. I want to be ready to see him again.
Rest In Peace, my love. Until we meet again.
