This story has been circulating on internet due to such a great story of love and hope. I thought I would share it to encourage and invest in our relationship with our love ones.
Jimmy and Billie Breland got married in 1954. The happy couple from Mississippi enjoyed 60 blissful years of love and marriage. Their family grew and expanded from children to grandchildren.
Billie, a former public school teacher, was an avid note writer. She was known to leave messages and reminders to herself around her home in Cleveland, Mississippi.
Billie passed away on January 13, 2015 at the age of 83. Jimmy’s heart was broken in two.
Two days after Billie’s passing, Jimmy happened to notice a note tucked away in her checkbook. But this final handwritten note Billie left wasn’t for her… it was for him.
The second Jimmy plucked the note out of Billie’s checkbook, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
What a beautiful note full of hope and love found in those who believe in Jesus Christ! I am not sure when I will die but this gives me an idea that I should think about writing a note/letter to my each family members reminding them of hope and reunion in Christ.
Have a blessed week!
