THEIR JOURNEY CONTINUES

He breathed his last, his hand resting on hers. She breathed her last a few minutes later. Sweethearts in elementary school, they dated through high school. After the prom came summer, then fall, then war. In a small community church, they swore one to the other in the eyes of God, exchanged blessed rings, and said I DO. Through the miracle of the Holy Spirit in which they both had been baptized, they became one.

As a pilot in the Army Air Corps., a country relied on his prowess as a test pilot and trainer. She became his trusted deputy, confidant, friend, lover defender of the home, and supreme supporter. Then came the lateral move to the newly formed Air Force--a new uniform he now wore. Flying now in foreign lands, his work for Special Services soon evolved into what is now Special Ops.

Mama always helped him keep his flight bag at the ready. The secret pouch that housed his Dristan pills to treat the pesky sinus problem and kept him flying. Off he would go, mama never knew where or how long he might be gone. She never doubted that he would return, her faith was strong. Years of trusting, seldom questioning, knowing that where he went and what he did would always be secured in the vault of his promise to a nation. For 34 years, He and she served quietly in the background of the noise of a busy world, a dangerous planet.

He breathed his last. She followed. The promise they made to each other to always return is kept. Married for 74 years, Their Journey continues.

Rev 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. (2) And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. (3) And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, (4) and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

They will be witness from on high.
