Friend and Husband
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
When I think I can't go on, who shows me the way?
When I wake up each morning, who gets me through the day?
The lines above are from a poem by Pat Couchman, found on "My Testimony Page". God helped me through the saddest time of my life--the death of my husband. When I thought I couldn't face another day, He was there as my Comforter and Strength.
After a few short months an already church friend of mine and Bill's, started talking with me beween church services. Many mornings as I did my quiet time, I would cry and ask God why this man was in my life. The only answer I received was to continue talking with him. This I did and to make a long story short, we were married almost eighteen months after Bill's death. I believed with all of my heart that God had a plan for my life and Jim was to be a part of it.
Encouraging words are wonderful, but there is only so much that family and friends can do. A visit can last only so long and everyone must go home. I realized that dinners out and vacations aren't canceled because of me. I am so thankful for this wonderful person God put in my life. Our pastor married us on Christmas Eve, after Wednesday night service. This photo was made a few days later at my daughter's house.
