The Blessing of Memories

Have You Got a Minute?

On August 25, 2024, it will be one year since my husband, Frank Waitley, stepped right into the presence of Jesus.  It just doesn’t seem possible, but it is.  Frank had a T-shirt that I had gotten him that read, “Heaven is My Home—I’m Just Here Recruiting.”  And that’s exactly what he did.  He didn’t want anyone to miss out on knowing, “Jesus loves you.”

Proverbs 10:7 tells us, “The memory of the righteous brings blessing…”  And that’s exactly what remembering Frank does for me.  I remember the blessing of being his wife. I remember the blessing of his being a “dad” to Abi. I remember the blessing of relationship with his four children—Julie, Roy, Tom, and Matt, and their spouses.  I remember the blessing of bonus grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  I remember the blessing of getting to minister alongside Frank to so many college kids. I remember the blessing of learning how to work cattle.  I remember the blessing of preparing branding meals.  I remember the blessing of Frank’s friends becoming mine.  I remember just feeling blessed.

So, on this day as we remember Frank, it is my prayer that abundant blessings will be brought your way! 

Thank you for giving me a minute!
