highlights of a love story
we were two people who were brought
together by god. WE both had needs and
we found those needs filled in each other.
although we had known each other all of
our lives, we both realized that, when our
paths crossed 40 years after graduation
from high school, we were following a
plan that god had already set in motion.
for nine years we have shared our lives.
WE laughed together, cried together and
even when we disagreed, love never
allowed anger to "hang around" very
long.
together, we had plans for our future, but
the plan we always chose to follow is
god's.
physically you left me, but you remain with
me in spirit, in my memories and our love has
grown even deeper.
though we had only a few years together,
we know that the next time our paths
cross, it will be a joyful, wonderful and
beautiful reunion that will last forever in
god's kingdom. death is only a temporary
separation.
so long, honey and thank you for the past
nine years. i know where you are and that
you will be waiting to greet me when i have '
finished my purpose here.
your wife,
ALTA HARTFIELD
when your body is tired and weary
and you're too weak to fight anymore,
the lord wraps his arms around you,
as he opens the eternal door.
he will show you the beauty of heave.
he'll give you the peace of an heir.
he'll preside over joyful reunions
with loved ones that are already there.
Saying, "good-bye" is never easy.
death has never been nice.
but there's one place we find our comfort,
in our savior and lord, jesus christ.
