At



my aunts funeral?
Some of the scripture that was read?
Describing my aunt?

Proverbs 31:10-31

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character


A wife of noble character who can find?
    She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
    and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
    and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
    bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still night;
    she provides food for her family
    and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
    her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
    and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
    and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
    and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
    for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
    she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
    where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
    and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
    and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
    and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Reminds me of you honey :-).
Proverbs 31 is on here a lot referencing you.
:-).



Then?
The first song they sang?




That is on here too.
About how rare it is 
for people to get heaven on earth 
as well as in eternity.

(that video is on here somewhere to but I can't find it right now.

The point is.
We get heaven on earth.
I was just sitting there smiling.
Thinking...
Why wouldn't I be hearing all this at my aunts funeral?
At this point?
What is surprising here?

Then?
Driving to the cemetery?
I was scanning radio stations.
Not a whole lot I like these days to say the least.
But I came across a preacher preaching.
You know.
Way to the left on the dial.
Not a very powerful station.
I always give preachers on the radio a shot.
If they can get my attention in the first few minutes?
I'll listen to them long as I can.

So this guy catches my attention.
Starts talking about how we have become an idolatress nation.
That this nation worships at the alter of greed any more.
I thought, man, I've been wanting to hear somebody preach that for years.
And now here they are doing so.

I didn't hear his scripture reading at the beginning.
But when he closed?

They said something to the effect of
"For more next week on Rev some body's bible study on Hosea. Tune in to..."

Hosea 

:-).

I just smiled.
Shook my head.
Of course it's Hosea.

How could it be on anything else?

All that took place
in a lil over 90 minutes.


All I could think of...all day...
Was how bad I wanted...
To be with the most amazing person I have ever met.

Proverbs 31.
Heaven came down.
Hosea.


Signs are everywhere,
if you know how to look.

I love you baby.
