Planned to have devotions together.
The three of us read the book of Esther on
Our own and then we discussed it while
We sat on the back porch sipping
Our coffee and enjoying the
Beauty of God's world.
I had brought Jack's Bible with me instead of
My own, and I discovered that
He had studied the account of
Esther before me.
He had highlighted verses in yellow.
He had underlined sentences and
Added his own markings.
As I followed along, reading his insights after
Him, noting his notes, I added my
Own comments in the margin.
I felt a tender connection to my
Teacher/husband.
We were so far apart and yet bound by
Our love for the BOOK and for each other.
As I savored his thoughts, trying to
Dig out every bit of meaning, I realized
That there weren't just three of us in
Our morning Bible study.
Jack made four.
