Goodbye My Beloved

My Beloved flew away four years, fifteen minutes ago.  I am praising God through my tears.

And my prayers go out for all of you who have lost your dearest ones.  We are not alone, sweet Friends who mourn.  We are not alone.  God is near to the brokenhearted.

I Will Always Miss You

Just about now, three years ago, my Beloved Husband was being rushed to the hospital by ambulance.  Today is a difficult day.  Strange how life can change in an instant.  Strange.  Sometimes I still can't believe he is gone.

I am grateful to God for bringing Alan in to my life and for the wonderful adventure we had together...  I am so thankful for the lovely children he gave to me and for the love we shared.  I will always miss him.

Be Still, Sad Heart -Postcard Friendship Friday #286

It is Halloween tomorrow, but that holiday pales in comparison to today's anniversary--one year ago today, my Beloved flew away to heaven.  Life has changed forever. 

Be still, sad heart, and cease repining

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining.

Thy fate is the common fate of all.

Into each life some rain must fall;

Some days must be dark and dreary.

But I must add here--that without both the sun and the rain--there are no rainbows and there is no hope.  I am so grateful to know I will see my darling again someday. In the meantime, the Shepherd of my heart walks with me, He weeps with me and He loves me.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, dear  Friends.

Comfort in Sadness

Today our lifetime friend Dan lost his little grandson in a tragic accident--these dear ones have already born so much heartache in their lives.  I hardly know what to say, or what to do.  Please pray for our friends Dan and Judy, and the parents of this precious little boy, Daniel.

May God comfort them in their grief.

Thank you for your prayers, dear ones.
