From Beyond

The boys and I cleaned out Joe's old van yesterday. I went through everything trying to determine what it was, was it worth keeping, and looking for the title. I still have not found the title. The boys put all the papers in a box. I came across an envelope. Joe always was buying cards for others. He would remember birthdays and such and then forget to send the cards out. Well, I figured that is what I had but when I opened it up I just started crying. It read:

For my wife,
the woman I cherish
I love you for being you...
for the friendship, affection,
and happiness you bring...
and I celebrate the
precious gift of your life.

a scripture was on the card:
"A woman who fears the Lord
is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:30

Jody was here and came running over to where I was and said what? Then she started crying and said, "Uncle Joe loved you so much". It was a time of tears and joy. I will keep the card forever.

Have a blessed day everyone! We are going to have dinner with Julie and Jason tonight. I use to hate to go to Dallas and never had any reason to go. Now it doesn't seem so far and it holds something very precious to my heart.
