Message

Dear God,

I have a message if you please.  A message for and with whom You tinker in a workshop, eat Mexican food, and play golf these days.  A message for Bill, the one You took to be with You because You love him.

Tell him, I've made a few friends.  Not the raise-a-family-together kind, but the talk-about-Jesus kind.  He will be so happy to know that. 

Tell him my days are full.  Not the scramble-here-to-there kind, but the what-natters-most kind.  He will want to know that. 

Tell him I miss him everyday.  Not the stifling-can't-function kind, but the wish-you-could-experience kind.  He will feel relieved to know that. 

Tell him I'm trying new things.  Not the I've-moved-on-without-you kind, but the refreshing-tickle-my-fancy kind.  He will smile to know that.

Tell him I'm sleeping, moving, and continuing well.  Not the I'm-independent kind, but the I-want-to-honor-you kind.  He will be pleased to know that. 

Dear God, 

I have a message for my husband if you please.  Tell him these things are true because he prepared me for such a time as this.
