August, 2012….

These verses are dated in my Bible…

I had just moved, boxes all over…I was by myself, a widow since April…it was really hitting me that my husband wasn’t going to drive into the driveway in his red truck, walk in the door, tell me about his day, listen to me about mine, sit down for dinner or visit with friends…

But, I felt lowly, in the midst of trouble…in the need of God’s comfort…the bubble that seems to surround many after the death of a loved one was slowly dissipating, reality was hitting…tears came easily, anger sometimes, denial sometimes…I was setting up a new home for myself not the two of us anymore…I didn’t know what stretched ahead..this was a new chapter that I hadn’t read yet…

Now, here I am 14 years later…I still need God’s comfort, His love and He has been there through the new chapters, the twists and turns. 

Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.  

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.  

The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.

Psalm 138:6-8

Thank YOU….

Comforts you…
