Face to face
When Robb’s and my relationship was just first beginning to blossom back in May 2005, we would write letters to each other. Sometimes two to three per week. Yes, with pen and paper.
These letters were always the highlight of my days. (I think Robb would agree.)
Robb started a tradition of closing the note with these words “until face to face” or he would simply write 2 John 12. This became our signature.
Yesterday I was reminded of this verse at bible study. (We were actually studying 1 John, but I read ahead to see the verse.)
Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
2 John 12 (ESV)
Reading this verse brought a huge grin to my face. After all our years of living apart from one another (hundreds upon hundreds of miles) we were finally blessed with being face to face. Everyday. My best friend. My partner.
How great is God!
Our joy is complete.
