1 Corinthians 13:8 says
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Love never fails. I love that. It’s been a really tough couple of days for me. Emotionally I feel fragile. Today I’m reminded of so many great memories of who my dad is to me in my life. I have a collection of rocks that on many walks to the beach I was given. I have a whole entire bowl of rocks I collected on so many beach walks.
My very last walk with my dad I found this heart leaf and I knew it was a sign that no matter where my dad is or where he’s at in his life. I know I am loved. ❤️
Today I wrote down things we have done together and the great memories I have of him. He doesn’t remember any of them but I do know in his heart that he will always love me. I was scared I was losing him. Instead we will make new memories and I look forward to the day that I can visit with him.
His life may be different but he’s still nearby and I still visit him and I still can show him how much I love him. I was there on the weekend helping my mom and packing up his things. He found one of boat books and he began to show me how beautiful and great and old these boats were. He loved boats. Him and mom had 3 of them. He loved adventure and hiking and just being out in nature. He often told me about his adventures before he was married and when he was with my mom. My mom has lots of photo albums with all their adventures.
He taught me about love and how to love others and he shaped me into who I am today. Pray for him and my mom as they transition into a whole different way of life. I love that he thinks of me as one of his favorite people he’s definitely one of mine. That’s how I know that love never fails. ❤️
Beauty from Ashes.
