Two years with Jesus in such different ways:
It has been two years since Ryan was called home to Jesus.
It has been two years of relying on Jesus alone to get through each day.
Ryan is spending eternity in the presence of the King.
He is breathing free.
He experiences no pain, no suffering, no sorrow, no sadness.
He has received the reward of his heavenly crown.
He no longer has to be concerned with the daily grind of life.
He is not stressed about finances, work, the stock market, or the Cubs.
He is healthy and happy.
Two years with Jesus has been much different for me.
I have longed to be in the presence of my King.
I have worried about having the strength to get through each day.
My days have been a mixtures of sadness and joy.
I have felt pain, suffering, and sorrow.
Even though the past two years have not been easy, I know that Jesus has been with me. He is the reason that I have made it through the last 730 days. Even though there is pain and heartache in my life, there is much joy as well. Jesus has blessed me with two beautiful children -- two wonderful reminders of their daddy. He has blessed me with caring family and friends. He has provided for all of our needs. He will continue to help me get through each day of this next year just as he has helped me get through each day of the last two years.

"...or the Cubs." What a smile that brought to my face! You are still always being uplifted in prayer my many, including myself. I do not know and pray that I never know that pain you have experienced, Kristin. The Lord has worked in you mightily, and we know the Lord will be with you these next 365 days. Hugs for you and the kiddos. We love you!
Good morning my friend...
Your words brought tears to my eyes. Your words reminded me that our precious loved ones are happy, healthy and whole in Heaven! Oh how I needed that reminder!!
Thinking of you today, your two little blessings and remembering your precious husband. Oh how my heart wishes to take your pain away...I love you friend, from the bottom of my heart!
What a beautiful little glimpse of what Ryan is experiencing- and it's so much better than we can imagine!
(Must be a relief to not have to worry about those Cubs. Feel bad for you Cubs fans!).
Prayers always!
