Over a year ago, I lost the love of my life after 28 years of marriage, which brought me into a club that I wanted no part of joining. Twice in the last 2 days, I have met 2 young women who have also become a part of the club over the last year. You see, it doesn’t matter how long you have been married; the pain is just as bad when you lose the love of your life. One of the women shared that they were trying to have a baby before he was tragically killed. The thing is, I have lost both parents now, and nothing compares to the loss of a spouse! If you really want to help someone who has lost a spouse, please stop telling them that you understand or how you lost a parent. It is not the same and never will be, and that is just the way life goes. The reality many will continue to join the club each and every day. Once you become a member of the club, you will have a unique bond with total strangers
Faith How’s Yours Today?
Many people who claim they are people of faith have this notion that it only comes in handy during troubled times. In reality, it happens every second of every day. When you go to start your car each morning, there is a level of faith that it will start. The same thing can be said when you turn on any of your household appliances. You see its the small things that require faith, not the big stuff like failing health of a loved one.
So, how is your faith today?
God Never Changes
So often in life, we get frustrated because God isn’t doing what we want and in our time. Here is the problem with that thinking that we are all guilty of day after day.
GOD NEVER CHANGES
What changes is our situation in life, but not God. We moan and complain about how unfair life is, but this brings us to a bigger question. When Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins, how was that fair to him? He did nothing wrong from the moment her took his first breath to that day on the cross!
As I have reached what many would consider the twilight years of my life, I have learned one thing for sure. God is in control, and we are all just along for the ride! So, folks, we can all moan and complain all we want, but in the end, it doesn’t matter because no matter what happens
GOD NEVER CHANGES!
She Is Special
There is a very special woman who came back into my life several months ago, and at first, I thought it was no big deal. Boy, was I wrong about that by a long shot. She is extremely shy by nature, and frankly, it is kind of refreshing. When we first came back together, I couldn’t get her to say 5 words together. Now, let’s say that has changed as she is blossoming into this magnificent woman of God. The thing is, we both know that this will never be some big-time romance ( unless God has other plans), and that’s ok with both of us. So you may be wondering how to describe this magical woman? As I said, she is shy by nature but has a unique sense of humor, and frankly, she brings peace to me that I have not known in a very long time. To her, I am ( private nickname), and she lets me be me. We have never talked on the phone, but there are days when we e-mail numerous times a day. ( I think our record is 11 times in one day) When we have ” bumps” in our relationship, we have learned that there is nothing we can’t talk about. She is an extremely talented artist, and all you have to do is look at the inside of my house! Her name is not important to put on here, but I want people to know that I am so blessed to have her in my life, and you see, I lost my wife over a year ago, and if this woman had not come back into my life, I would have simply given up by now. Not hurt myself, just stop trying in life.
