Safe ~ Phil Wickham

Life Changing Love

Most of us are born to a family that loves us~ however dysfunctional the family of origin might be we tend to know they love us. (There are some exceptions and that is for another post) As we grow up, we meet people who we love and love us and these people, like our family, touch our lives and their love changes us.

Today I am saying good-bye to one of the most AMAZING and loving men that ever touched my life. John Joseph Jackalone born October 8, 1946 is going to be with the Lord today...

Uncle JJ~ he and Aunt Sherron came into my life and both filled it with so much love and joy it is hard to imagine it all... Over the years we shared laughs, special moments, and even tears. These two people were more than family~ and my life has been changed because of the love they shared with me.

As much as I have missed Aunt Sherron and know that I am going to miss Uncle JJ~ my heart swells with joy because I know these two amazing people are with the Lord~ they will be walking together down the streets of heaven, arguing and fussing at eachother and sharing their love with everyone else in heaven. I know that they are safe in the arms of GOD~ our GOD who knows the ultimate love for people and he has wrapped my beloved Uncle JJ in his love.

It is a time of change in my life... the adults who guided me, mentored me, were there for me have passed on now~ I am left with GOD as my guide... yet HE has sent some folks to help me along this path...

My amazing husband~ a man who is a strong Christain and who loves me and is teaching me about love between a husband and wife that I never knew could exist. After all my failed relationships, it astounds me how this man can love me the way he does and how he walks beside me in this relationship...

Along with my husband there is a small group of women who also are here to love me, walk with me, and help me along in this wonderful life...

GOD has truly blessed my life with life changing love...
