Today, I light an everlasting candle in memory of my precious wife Caroline on our 40th Wedding Anniversary in praise of our Lord Jesus Christ for the gracious gift of my “Proverbs 31 Woman” by God - so poignant to me as it’s our Ruby (40th) and she is certainly more precious than rubies Proverbs 31:10. No words can express the joy in my heart that she’s with Jesus for eternity, which is better by far having run the race set before her as a good and faithful servant, forever trusting in Jesus’ promise to prepare her place in God’s house with many rooms John 14:2-3 until Jesus returns in glory. Caroline’s presence is forever with me although separated for a while right now.
All these tributes to Caroline express heartfelt love, thankfulness and admiration for knowing her. Nothing being ever too much of a burden in life with her persistent desire to always help others as a true expression of her love for Jesus and her testimony to His sacrifice to save sinners in accordance with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Caroline’s positivity and boundless zest for life being truly infectious no matter the occasion - her belief that everyone could achieve something being inspirational at all times and is accompanied with prayers of praise, thankfulness and petition to God about all things. There are so many stories, memories and thoughts yet to share for our life together that is forever a blessing to me. Thanks to you all for your condolences as they are a treasure store in my heart.
This candle was first lit on the 12th of July 2020 and will burn for 95 years 7 months and 9 days.
