Hi Kay,
I too was a big romantic. That was 37 years ago for me. I always wanted to grow old with him…and now I see lots of signs that I am getting old! Not quite the way I envisioned it.

I too wish that God would just lay it all out so that we don’t have to struggle so hard to know what to do in each situation or just how to make it through each day. But God knows that we need to struggle and work things out because the struggle strengthens us. Just as a caterpillar in a cocoon will not survive if you cut the cocoon open, as it needs the struggle to finish the process of becoming a butterfly, God knows that we too need the struggle. At least I know that one day the struggles, the pains, the trials will be all over and this short time will have allowed us to mature in a way that will carry forward into eternity. Praise God for that.
