Love Letter

By Harriet Lovely

“Do not be anxious
about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God."
Philippians 4:6

y dearest Love,
I love You with all that I am,
My heart, my soul, and my body.
I know that I am Yours and even when
I disappoint You…
And I seem to do that a lot.
I am so very sorry.
Please forgive me.

I can’t say that I won’t ever disappoint You again
because we both know that I am only human.
I love You so much for being my
One true friend in life, for trying so hard to keep me headed
In the right direction,
Yet having the love and patience to
Not give up on me
Though it seems my own family has.

I love You for being the rock in my life,
the only stable thing that I know
will always be there for me.

I love You for all the times You have
Come to me when I didn’t have the strength
To call for you;
times when you simply came to me and
cradled me in Your loving arms.

I love You for all the wonderful lessons
I have learned in life,
some very difficult, but You stayed by my side
and helped me through it all.

Together we have celebrated lessons learned,
Beautiful days filled with sunshine
And the sounds of nature;
The magnificence of the ocean and
The sound of the pounding surf;
The roll of thunder and the brilliant flashes
Of lightening across the sky.

We have shared the miracle of life as
We watched our children and grandchildren
Enter this world.

I love You for being mine,
For teaching me the ways of love.
I cherish our time alone as You love me
In a way that no one else ever could.

The intimacy we share is unlike any other love
When I am not with You
I am incomplete.
My heart yearns for You until
We are alone together again,
when I may once again
bask in Your heavenly Glory
