Two and a half years. The beautiful words of remembrance, faded away. Time passing. Life moving forward. Memories; a gift. The Lord's sweet provision. A gift to be treasured. A legacy of photo's. God made sure there were pieces to hold on to. A heart full of memories. I still don't like this plan. My whole being longs for a different path. But that is not to be. So, with my whole heart I will praise the One who calls me by ... View Post
