Packing to move…
Twelve years ago, we decided to move from Elko, Nevada to Bend, Oregon. This way we were closer to family during the last days of my husband’s cancer..no more treatments just a meds for comfort…
So I spent time packing up things for immediate use and care for us, closed down our home and the temporary apartment…friends came to help, to say goodbye, to wish us well through this phase of life…we appreciated each visit, even though they were laced with tears of sorrow and farewells…this would be the last time they saw my husband alive…
The theme of each day was “trust Me, one day at a time…trust is not a natural response especially for those who have been deeply wounded…exert your will to trust Me in all circumstances…I will equip you to get through this day victoriously….” Jesus Calling , Sarah Young…
These same people who came and visited, plus so many more would yet make one more memorial visit two months later for a memorial service…
Their friendship and care throughout the hard times was so amazing…a true gift…that gave over and over…
The song for those days, one of my husband's favorites…
Crucified with Christ… May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Rom.15.13
A friend loves at all times,…
Prov.17.17a
O Lord of hosts,blessed is the one who trusts in you!
Ps.84.12
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
