God recently gave me a new role for my life. It’s called Widowhood. On November, 24, 2015 I lost my husband, the love of my life of 48 years to the dreadful and nasty disease called Cancer. Denny fought with this enemy for 13 years and all the while he had a hopeful and cheerful attitude. You see, he knew that the final battle would end up victorious because he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior many years ago.
Now, however, I face each day alone. Every trial is a new adventure that I would much rather not encounter. But there is good news, God is always by my side no matter what I feel or experience. He gently whispers in my ear, “I care for you. I love you. You were on my mind before I formed you in your mother’s womb”. The Bible tells us that He alone is our Provider, Comforter, and Sustainer.
It may feel like there is no end to the Widow’s grief, loneliness and emptiness, but take heart, Jesus said that we are never alone and we will never be abandoned. Jesus loves us so much! We have to remind ourselves each new day that we can make it, and with His help, we can make it successfully!
