I want to share another way God has comforted me this week. As time passes, and the days continue to roll by, I find myself counting up how long it has been since I was with Kate. Twelve days since she died, or 16 days since her funeral, or 28 days since her last “good” day. There are so many ways to count the growing separation.
But God, in His love, told me that I had it all wrong. It’s not a count UP; it’s a count DOWN.
Because every day I wake up is one day closer. Closer to holding her again. Closer to hearing her laugh. Closer to celebrating all the ways God used our adventure on earth to bring people eternal life.
The truth is, there are more days ahead of me with Kate in eternity than I had in the past. I have so much to look forward to! So do you.
