Time

A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Psalm 90:4

There always seems to be time, doesn’t it?  Time to take more photographs, time to go on more picnics, time to go dancing, time to do any number of things that are precious to us.  Now time is marching on and we are powerless to stop it.  The calendar marks the days, the weeks, months; and we feel it as a painful gash in our souls. 

Time after the loss of someone we love is much like marking the days after the birth of a baby.  We count the days, and then there is some unmarked day in our instinctive memory that moves to marking weeks, and then to months.  It doesn’t seem that we can measure our loss in terms of years for quite awhile.  And we hang on to those days because each one seems to take us further and further from our loved one.

It is hard to remember during those times of intense grief, as the days and weeks pass by, that they are only a flash in the scope of eternity.  To God, to our loved ones, our linear time has no meaning and to them, we will all be reunited soon.  We are moving in a plane that is so restricted and we must face sunrise to sunset, over and over again, marking each day as just another day without the one we love.

Comfort yourself with remembering that your husband is in a place past time, past pain, past suffering where the Light always shines and Love is surrounding him.  He haven’t left you.  He is but a thought away and someday, when it is the right time, you will all be together again.  In a place where time is not a word you need to know, and no separations will ever happen again.
