For several
days I have been updating my address book. For several years I have been
avoiding the task.
I would
search for addresses anywhere other than my address book. Opening it was
painful. Too many loved ones logged on the pages have moved from their
temporary dwellings here on earth to their permanent residences in eternity. I am
sad that I cannot share a hug or a smile or a conversation with them. I cannot
send a birthday card or an email just to say “hi!”
Even so, I
rejoice because they are with Jesus and one day we will be together again.


And that is our ultimate hope and best change, that one day we will leave this earthly box and move to the wide open spaces of heavenly forever. There we join our beloved ones and praise the Lord in many tongues. Oh yes, Lord, come!
