Does Time REALLY Heal All Wounds?




So we've nearly come to the time for favorite meals and last minute lists -  of making sure questions are asked, and answered, and for a Dad to reassure his son that he will be careful when he is getting the bad guys.  
And for two soldiers and their son to SKYPE once or twice more as a threesome.
In less than a year, our other soldier will be back home. 
This is OUR plan, and we pray it is God's plan as well.
Now I know that God does not give us a spirit of fear...but rather courage.  And we know that His angels are all around us - resting on our shoulders, and helping us to feel His peace in our hearts.   So, we can know that when we call on His name, He hears us. And we hear Him as well - in the quiet of the night, or  when we are in battle.  You know, the everyday battles that most of us deal with.  Or in the battles that our nation's bravest and finest are asked to wage in a place far away from their home soil.
Laurie will be home soon - thank you, Lord.  And in time, our Stephen will be home as well.  I thank God for the trust we can have in Him. And that it's okay to be worried too.  He understands our hearts and our fears.

Hebrews 11:1:
"Now Faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen."

So maybe time doesn't heal all wounds, but the Faith He gives us DOES give us the hope that at the end of a certain period of time, our hearts are healed of the worry, and joy and thanksgiving are left in it's place.

He's got this one too.
Thank you, Lord.
