Espoused

It's been a lonely week here in Gettysburg, more so because I have had to choose letting go, rather than holding on.

I had the feeling that nothing was permanent; nothing could withstand time and its inexorable march.

I found this in Hosea 2: 21-22 (I had written three, but I made a mistake - thanks, betty!):

I will espouse you to me forever: I will espouse you in right and in justice, in love and in mercy; I will espouse you in fidelity, and you shall know the Lord.

That is a message worthy of a smile, no matter how miserable the day. Whatever faults, troubles, frustrations, ro headaches that come my way, in whatever form, I have unending, unconditional, perfect love in my life. God loves me like that, and I can never be loved any less by my bridegroom.

That's a TGIF moment.
