My Dear Husband’s First Birthday in Heaven

Today would be my dear husband, Chester’s 74th birthday. It’s been rather difficult for me today. I would have made him a special supper, had a card and a gift for him but he’s celebrating his birthday in heaven for the first time. I can imagine it must be a wonderful celebration in heaven where everything is perfect and wonderful.

Of course his parents and his sister Barb would be there and our son and daughter would be there as well. I wouldn’t leave my mom out either. She became a mother to him when his own mom was still living in England.

I don’t know if they celebrate birthdays there like we do here you know with the cake and candles etc. but I’m sure it’s still a celebration, probably nothing like we have here but better. Good food, laughter, and a good time.  In heaven you don’t forget what went on on earth. I believe our minds are sharper. So I believe they remember birthdays.

Revelation 6:9-10 King James Version (KJV)

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

 

1 Corinthians 13:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Usually we would have cake and candles. Good food, decorations, laughter, gifts, and a good time by all. This year is entirely different. Quiet, and empty. Remembering the good times as recent as a year ago. Man, I miss those good times. I miss him, the love of my life. All I have now is the memories, not just of his birthday but all those times we spent together – yes, the good, bad and the ugly.  Even the bad and the ugly seem sweet now, because we actually spent that time together. I would give anything just to spend five more minutes with my love but I can’t. I have to wait until God sees fit.

I pray for the time in the future when we are all together again to not just to spend birthdays but all kinds of celebrations. I believe heaven is like Christmas,birthdays and all those wonderful celebrations all wrapped up into one all the time.  Spending time in the presence of our Lord I think is the ultimate celebration.
I know  what the love of my life, Chester would like for his birthday this year. That is that everyone come and join him in that beautiful place one day. It’s very easy.  This is all you have to do.

Acts 16:31 King James Version (KJV)

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

I’ll be there with bells on!

Happy Birthday My Love! I love you and miss you.

All My Hope Is In God

All my hope is in God is actually a motto from the Fraser clan, a clan originally from Scotland. Fraser my beloved husband’s last name and my married name. My wonderful husband, Chester saw this medal at a booth years ago by a British shop that was selling all kinds of items from Great Britain. He saw that medal and had to buy it because it represented his family ancestry. It made him quite proud that, that motto actually belongs to his family and represents who Chester had,still has his faith in. Hey I’m proud of that motto too.

That motto “All My Hope Is In God” is an awesome one because it’s true.  I don’t know how the Fraser clan came up with it. But why not?  It’s been their motto for hundreds of years. Chester loved it and so do I. It spoke to both of us and reminds us of where even our very lives come from. We depend on Him for everything.  All our hope should be in God for without Him we are nothing. Without Him we are doomed. But because of who He is we have hope if only we accept it. He gives life and He can take it away if He chooses. But He cares about us so much He wants us to accept what He has for us. Because it’s not all bad. He promises us that if we accept Him, He will make sure we will have life everlasting. He will help get us through the rocky times on this earth.

John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He has provided a better place for us after we are done on this earth. A place much better. Our lives on this earth is a very short time, but a vapor. Earth is only a stop over. Earth is not our permanent home. For those of us who believe, He has prepared for us a glorious home that is permanent.

John 14 King James Version (KJV)

14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

All my hope is and always will be in God  especially right now with what I’ve been going through. He is the one who is sustaining me right now. I have that hope that God has promised me of reuniting with my beloved Chester one day, hopefully soon. I have a hope of living with my Lord and Savior in eternity. I have a hope of seeing all my loved ones in heaven. I have that hope of that beautiful mansion that is being prepared for me. I have that hope of hanging out with some of those Bible patriarchs and chatting with them.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 King James Version (KJV)

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I think there is a lot of great things to hope for when we look to God. He didn’t promise that life on this earth would be rainbows and lollypops because this world is fallen because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God but because of Jesus, He promises a wonderful life to come.

Romans 5:19 King James Version (KJV)

19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

I’m certain the Fraser clan made the perfect choice for a motto that I’m sure most of them lived by.  It’s a motto we should all live by. ALL MY HOPE IS IN GOD

Hurts So Bad

Today is the first Valentines Day without the love of my life. Chester every year would always give me in a nice gift bag chocolates, potted mini roses and a most of the time a romantic card, sometimes a humorous one that I absolutely loved and adored. He would most times get a Tim’s drink and he would get one too because it was usually “roll up the rim” time and we would have drinks and a really nice talk. I would try and make him a nice meal for supper. It was a very special day. We loved, still love each other very much.

It’s a very hard day today.  I greatly miss all of that. It’s a very empty, hollow day. A dark day. I miss his very presence. He made me feel safe,secure and warm. I feel insecure, unsafe and cold without him.

Sweethearts that’s who we were on this earth and I believe we will be in heaven as well. We may have argued and fought once in awhile. We may have let each other down once in awhile, but we were and are close, our love was and is always there. It has never waned or died even through the hard times.  I still love my Chester and always will and I know he still loves me and always will. Our love is forever.

My husband will and always be my one true love. No other man will ever do. No one can ever compare to  him. I am blessed to have had him as my friend, my lover, confidant, my soulmate, my husband on this earth.  We are and always will be sweethearts forever.

It was God who drew and put us together. We are soulmates, we are spiritually tied together. We are separated right now and it hurts so bad. This separation will always hurt until the Lord takes me home and we are reunited again and forever live with Him in Glory.

Our love will continue into the next world for eternity. It will never stop.  It will be a better relationship. It will be closer, purer, completely selfless and unconditional. It will be perfect because it will be in the presence of our Holy God, our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ who is perfect. Everything in heaven is perfect. There are no flaws, no mistakes, no hate, no bitterness, no heartache or sorrow. There is no disappointments, no sadness and no tears except for tears of joy and happiness. I can’t wait to be there. My Lord and Savior has promised me that He will one day take me home to live with Him there.  It’s the only thing that keeps me going. I rely and stand on that promise because I know He will fulfill that promise and I hope it will be one day soon.

Everyday in heaven will be like Valentines Day, Christmas, and birthdays all wrapped into one.  Just the love from the Father and the Son Jesus Christ alone will overwhelm. That’s not at all taking into account the love from my husband and my family and others. I will certainly return that love back. Heaven from what I’ve heard is a place full of love and peace.  No condemnation. A wonderful place.

I am depending on Jesus every minute today and everyday especially on a day like today, Valentine’s Day. He has promised me He will never leave me nor forsake me. Because I know Jesus loves me unconditionally no matter what. His Father loves me so much that He sent His Son Jesus to this earth to die and arise again for my sins so that I can have eternal life and live with Him forever in heaven instead of spending eternity in hell a place where I really deserve to go. It’s because of His love and forgiveness I have that hope. My Chester took advantage of that love and hope. That’s why he is safe with Jesus right now. Jesus loved him so much he rescued the love of my life from that hassle of sickness and disease and is free now.  I love Jesus for that and thank Him that for the freedom that He granted my love. That’s the solace that I have.

Yes I am full of pain and sorrow right now. It hurts and it hurts bad but that love my wonderful husband and I shared here will carry on one day and be better than ever before. It will be Valentines all the time.  I look forward to it.
