Your posts are so encouraging. When I was...Sarah,<br /><br />Your posts are so encouraging. When I was reading, I couldn't help but think of my grandmother who also lost her husband early in life. As I was going through her belongings, I found the following letter. You mentioned in one of your posts that you hoped to be a comfort to others; your strength and transparency through this process has already been an encouragement. I thought maybe this letter may help to encourage you. I guess you could call it 1970s style blogging. :-D <br /><br />-----------------------<br />February 25, 1979<br /><br />Dear Friend,<br /><br />We truly have a God of all comfort. I thought I would tell you of how a closer walk with Him after my husband died has been a great blessing to me these past nineteen years. I found a great rest and peace in prayer and Bible study. In D.L. Moody’s Bible next to the word “peace” he wrote these words:<br />“Peace is when you worry about nothing, pray about everything, and thank God for everything.”<br /><br />II Peter 1:4 says that God hath given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. I allowed Jesus to be the Lord of my life after I had been a widow for a year. I asked for peace and for His leading. I have enclosed one of my favorite poems.<br /><br />“We thank Thee Lord for pilgrim days<br />When dessert springs were dry,<br />When first we knew what depths of need,<br />Thy love could satisfy.”<br /><br />-----------------------<br />Sarah, thank you again for sharing with all of us. Your words are both beautiful and rebuking. I am sure that Troy is very proud of you.<br /><br />Praying for you!<br />RuthUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071856975411263583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780240942627458611.post-8256029687340802922010-02-17T22:41:09.766-05:002010-02-17T22:41:09.766-05:00Lamentations 3:22-23.
