II Corinthians 5:8. It seems like yesterday I first came here to see her and that big smile she had, and so polite and generous along with so hospitable. For Myrtle the saying, " mi casa su casa" was truly my experience with her. As far as the time wow gone, like a vapor. God's word says our life is like a vapor, here for a short time and than vanishes away. James 4:14. Even though Myrtle lived a good long life ( 1 Peter 3:10) 96 years old she even said it went by so fast. Her days as a Navy nurse went by so fast she would say and then she was in old age. I learned from Myrtle to enjoy life in in all of the hardships. Of all the trouble from within and without and physically that Myrtle went through Never once did I ever hear her complain NOT ONCE. I miss her. And as I reflect on her I begin to realize the Lord is bringing about the necessity to do what Myrtle always told me when I would ask her, "Myrtle, what am I going to do without you when your gone?" She would answer, "you will get on with your life." It isn't easy but God has really carried me through some deep waters and I am moving on. I will be out of this old house as Myrtle called it Sept 2011 but I will be thinking of Myrtle every day until it is my time to have faith replaced by sight and be home with her and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May he come soon.
