There once was a voice on the phone that belonged to the man I would spend the rest of my life with.... I would end the conversation with a simple "goodbye" that would be the beginning of the rest of my life.....
We would build a love, a life and a family that was so true and sometimes unbearably gifted....
Our relationship would begin and remain a threesome.....a triangle of trust, relationship and commitment...without our individual hunger for a oneness with God, we would never be here....
There would be profound gifts.....three......our hearts would grow three times the size to accommodate the joy they would bestow...and our hearts are growing still, as our love expands with them...
The orchestra of our family would begin and continue with a precision that could only be genuinely appreciated by a Chief Conductor (and us, of course).....with every instrument's placement so integral to the concert that would continue to play out in movements, sometimes harmonious, others contrasting, but all in accompaniment of each other.
And the music grows louder at times in more dramatic tones and oh so much softer with barely a hum in others...
But we keep our eyes focused, focused on Him....the Sacred Conductor who so graciously and tirelessly leads us on....we trust His purpose, His sometimes visible gestures and His direction....we trust Him to set the tempo, clarify and unify us as we move forward in this melodic ensemble..... We wait for His cues, the precise direction, as He encourages us to keep our eyes focused on Him.
And He leads us on.........
