REAL LIFE!​​

James 4:14 – Devotional

James 4:14

“We are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

I survived another Christmas with only a few pangs. At this season I always recall being with my wife Joyce and our family on Christmas as being a very special day. Joyce and I spent every Christmas together except in 1966 when I was on a remote assignment in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada.

During that Christmas season I was broken up by one song lyric that went; “I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.” The year 2016 was my first Christmas without Joyce, but her first Christmas with Jesus. SHE HAD A BETTER CELEBRATION THAN I DID!

I recall the days before Joyce went to be with the Lord. Joyce had just been placed on Hospice Care due to her dementia. She was in a hospital bed in our living room. I was not sure if she understood about her condition, but I spent hours beside her bed holding her hand and sharing my love with her.

When my precious wife took her last breath it was her entry into everlasting life. No more confusion or pain for my sweetheart. She received the reward of eternal life — IT IS REAL LIFE BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION. I can hardly wait!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
