How Fortunate I Am . . .


For those of you who follow my blog, Meditations of my Heart, knowing about my husband, Danny, comes as no surprise to you.  He is my rock, my comfort, and my fellow traveler on this Christian road we travel together.

No wonder, then, it is difficult for me when he takes a business trip, and it is one I cannot attend.  Monday morning, Danny leaves for St. Paul for a National Energy Star Products meeting.  Leaving on a jet plane.  Flying.  Away from me.

Away from us . . .

It might not be so hard, so worrisome, for me if I had not experienced losing a former husband to a freak and accidental death . . .

Enduring the loss - the pain, the sorrow, the grief.

I can't do it again . . . I think God knows this.  No!  He knows!

I want Danny to return safely to me.  I expect it.

I pray for it . . .

Lord, I know you hear.  I know you care.  I know you know . . .

And, I pray for the faith to let Danny go, trusting he is safe in Your hands, dear Father.   There is not a day that goes by when I don't thank You for allowing me to be the most fortunate of women, and so blessed.

Bring him back to me safely, dear Lord, I know You can.

I know You will . . .

Travel blessings, dear Danny!

  4. Take care Martha. I am sure Danny will come home safely to you. I can understand your panic but remember to stay happy or he will be terribly worried about you. I also get anxious when hubby travels. I guess it is in the genes of wives to worry :). Stay well.

      Did you see the photo of Linda Lee with Danny in St. Paul where she lives and where his business meeting was held? So cool they had a chance to meet!

  10. I just read this and know that Danny is back safe, Martha. However, I too tend to worry when Jose travels - though rarely. How cool that Danny met up with Linda. I'm off to look for the picture. :)

    1. It is so hard not to worry when our husbands travel. I think it's the natural thing to do. Yes, it was so cool that he was able to meet up with Linda. It's a great photo and should be on my timeline.
      Blessings to you, Corinne!

  11. Wow! I could just imagine how I would be...though I'm also trying not to be too attached to the people I love :) God bless you both always!
