This lovely lady would have turned 73 today.
I love her and miss her! How I thank God that he gave me a loving wife to be my best friend ever.
She was the most beautiful and wonderful of all women. She was like Eve to me -- the only woman in the world. My love for God and my love for Becky always seemed the same to me, and so it was. All love is from God, but there is no love quite like marital love.
Marriage, for the Christian, is a continuous means of loving and serving God. And ever since Becky's passing he has kept on affirming his love for me with one blessing after another. Indeed, the very distance I feel from Becky today is paradoxically a measure of the overwhelming closeness of God. Naturally it is painful to lose one's spouse. Yet at the same time it is rich and comforting to know that there is one thing in this life that can never change, and that is how Christ binds himself to us all our life long and even into eternity with cords of love.
Happy Birthday, my love!
