Hi! Albie here again. This email made my wife and I cry when I was writing it.
It's little long but I hope you find it golden! 



Ever wonder what the culmination of your life will be? 

Ever wish you could see it from beginning to end and see what dreams came true?
What things you could have done differently? 

One afternoon, I wondered if I saw my wife's life like this, if I  have made 
a difference in her life. Seeing it from her point of view, had I been truly good to her? 

I know we all make mistakes. We all have good and bad days.
We all have those around us that see us and know who we really are.

They may have seen us as a child, reaching out to hold their hand. 
They may have held our hand in marriage or held us tight at night. 
They may have walked with us on the beach, in the sunset and under the moon. 

They've seen our sad moments when our heart "fell" to the ground. 
They saw our happiest moments when our heart "leapt high into the sky". 

They may know our deepest fears. They may have even walked with us on those
fearful days, when "destruction seemed to stalk us".  

The day the car broke down along the road. The day that car crashed into us.
The day we were hated by everyone in our class and made fun of. 

The day we fell down and blood was everywhere.

Those dark days. The days only we and our loved ones know about.
They may have even been a reason for the sorrow but for sure
they also wanted to be part of the solution.

They may have even seen what we really wanted to achieve in life - maybe. 
They maybe even suspected our struggle each day to achieve our dreams. 

If they were really paying attention, they might have seen our struggle and
our triumph over impatience or greed. 

They may have seen us growing into a better person. Or maybe
seen our downward spiral into despair. 

They might have been a big part of helping us to grow better. 
Or maybe they didn’t help us much. Maybe they could have done better. 

But they probably still love us and have been watching us for a long time.

For sure there are a few who care about the secret of our life. 
They may be our mother, father, our loved ones, sisters, brothers and close friends. 

But in the end, it's God who made us and watches over us.
He knows all the things about our life.
He sees the whole thing. He knows if we ever “achieved it” or
found what we were looking for. And in the end, the only thing that matters
is to simply be his and relax in God's love. 

He sees our daily joys. The sunshine, the rain, the leaf we saw falling from the sky.
He knew when we saw the ripples on the pool and the sparkle on the water.
He also felt the cool water on our skin and the wind blowing across our face. 

He sees it all and bears witness to our life and what we do with it. 

Now what things do I bear witness from my mom's life?
I remember some of her happiness.
I wasn't there to see the glow in her heart the day she was married to my dad.
I missed some of the most exciting times in her life. 

But I didn’t miss out on her tears. I didn’t miss out on her smiles.
I didn’t miss out on her prayers and the hard work of her hands. 

I saw her happy dreams and the desires in her heart. 
I saw her heart desire to be with Jesus.

To be in a better place, where there are no thieves and no-one who
hates you. Where love is the rule of life and so much so that no one
even wants anything else. People go out of their way to help you and
hidden greed does not show its dark shadow. 

Everyone takes care of each other and gives of their time.
Because we all belong to God and to each other. This is the kingdom of God,
a place we can begin to understand now as we grow closer to
God and into his likeness. 


But above all, I hope I see Gods smile on his face and hear him say:
“I have loved you from the beginning and I see you love me too.” 

One day, God will give me a gift. It will be to see the secret of my life and how
I effected others. It will fill in all the missing pieces. 

I will see the good and the bad. And I hope I realize now (not then) to make these 
upcoming days and moments richer for everyone I connect with and for the ones I love.

Let's start where we are right now.
We would love to meet you, have you on our team and get to know you also. 
Just reply back: "please share with me more". And I will. 


Talk to you soon!
