Closer


A couple of days I ago, I was feeling very down.  In my mind I was counting, almost 2 months since I've seen Mom, in April it will be a year since I've seen Sam, and it's been over 5 months since I've seen Tonto.  I felt they were getting further and further (hope it's not farther, but I don't think it is lol) away from me, like I would lose sight of them eventually.   But God (don't you love that saying, "but God...") immediately popped a wonderfully comforting thought in my head, "You are not getting further from them, but closer, closer to the day you will see them again."  And that was so true.  Everyday brings me closer to the day I am reunited with my loved ones and brings me closer to the day I see my Lord face to face and that is an awesome thought.

Thank You Lord for Your comfort.  Thank You for the hope of heaven.
