My reflections today are at 11
months since Paul moved to his heavenly home.
There are so many changes that take place when you lose your spouse, we
were married for almost 34 years, and he was a part of my every day. When I go to the grocery store I still find
myself wanting to walk down the aisle to purchase the items he needed and
liked. In the morning I miss our
conversations and him telling what the weather would be like for the day. During
the day my thoughts were-“what will we have for supper?”.
Other thoughts during the day
were “I need to talk to Paul about….”, I
miss the weekends; where he always had a project to work on in his shop and I
would run errands, clean the house and work on my crafts. Our Sundays were probably the
best day of the week because we would make sure we had a special meal- always something
on the grill and we would make sure there was extra so that we would have
leftovers for the week. We never had a problem with leftovers. 😍.
For the most part you could say were “content”. In my recent Bible Study we talked about being content, along with this Bible Verse:
For the most part you could say were “content”. In my recent Bible Study we talked about being content, along with this Bible Verse:
Philippians 4:11-13New International
Version (NIV)
“11 for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be
in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of
being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or
hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this
through him who gives me strength.”
Only the Lord can give the strength that is needed to be “content”
with how my life is now. Within my life
now, there are blessings and I can see how the Lord is with me every step of
the way.
Thank you for visiting today.
Have a blessed day.
