email love letter.

sunday morning i received the best love letter from my dear husband in my email and i want to share it with you. i have edited it a little bit because grammar and spelling are not hubby's strong suit. i hope you enjoy...
Hello my love,
This is the letter I wish I could write and send to you, but due to issues here with the mail it could honestly get to you after my return. So I hope you can settle for this. I plan to pick up writing in my journal. I finally received your letter my love. It reminded me that I never really told you how much you mean to me. In an odd time in my life you became a light in the darkness. It took me a while to figure out that the light I was seeing was not you, my love, it was a life with the Lord. Though I thought myself a good man up to that point, I still had many sins on my heart and much pain in my soul. You became the Lord's doorway to my life. Without you I never would have found the hope or happiness I have when I go to church. I was lost, but now I'm found. I still miss you a lot and find myself sad because I cannot be the strength you need from day to day. Nor can you be the support I wish I could have. However, I am finding it easier to bear day by day in my prayer and study of the bible, which sadly is just beginning but i do see things improving. I have found my peace that I have not had in a while.
I still miss my church very much. I do not feel the complete comfort of God that I often do during a church service but I am getting by pretty well. I don't attend the church services here. Instead I try to listen to the CDs I have. The one regret I have on those CDs is that they do not include the praise and worship. To me that is a major part of my time at church. Mostly because during that time is the largest time I spend truly talking and listening to the Lord. It's when he speaks to me most, when I feel most in touch with him.
Do not worry about me, my love, I am fine and safe. I fear no evil for our Lord is with me. He comforts me when I grow weak and fall into despair. I am safe my love for in my heart I feel he wishes nothing to happen to me because my work for the Lord is not finished.
You are the love of my life and I would be lost without you. You made me a very lucky, very happy man and I can never repay you for that.
...i love my hubby. this letter was in reply to a letter i sent him that finally got through. they have been having mail issues so i'm not sure if i will ever get a letter that i don't have to print out. and as far as the CDs he is talking about, he has CD copies of sermons from our church. needless to say, i am so proud of how hubby is handling this deployment. he makes me feel so loved!!

What an incredible letter! He's a keeper for sure!

Thanks for your comment on my blog! I am charging $100 plus shipping for the quilt throw. Since I'm "raffling" that particular one off, I would make you another one. Let me know soon though so I can be sure to get the exact fabrics.
