The depth of her grief shocks me. I know that God gives us the gift of suffering, and it is just that a gift. It is just the one no one wants. I have learned through watching the grief that I must with joy hold everything in my hand with an open palm. I have tried all of these years to give back my children over and over to the Lord, now I see, I must hold every relationship just as loosely. I do know that if God chooses to take my husband home before me, that being the Loving Heavenly Father He is He will give me the grace to endure and will just be as good as a husband to the widow and orphan, as He promises. I think the separation that comes just makes our home going easier. <br />My grandpa died and my grandmother, in her grief passed away two weeks later. She couldn't stand the separation. I think of course, it was God being merciful. <br />Sorry this is so long, but I think about this and think about this and I admit, my soul does shrink back. <br />Great article by the way.<br />Thanks,<br />KimFarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-60165830987298604362012-03-31T15:59:52.249+01:002012-03-31T15:59:52.249+01:00Sweet reminder for us to walk in gratefulness for ...Sweet reminder for us to walk in gratefulness for what we have:)The Adams Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985547132261253688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-27208032255538653882012-03-31T04:20:36.074+01:002012-03-31T04:20:36.074+01:00Yes, I am thankful to be a wife too and not a wido...Yes, I am thankful to be a wife too and not a widow.
