Dear Friend,
You message made an imprint on my heart. I have a couple of practical thoughts.
No matter how hard you try to be “normal, healed and etc…” it could be 5 years before the ache subsides. Practical thought #2 Don’t be so hard on yourself. Some days will be awful. It’s OK to just shut the world out and read a good book in your PJs, and cry if needed. Even Leaders grieve.
Practical thought # 3 Be happy, be humbled, be grateful. Why? Because so many, many people want what you had, pray for what you had, and wonder if they will ever know the love you experienced for so many years.
Be well beautiful woman of God.
PS:
I have been privileged to have the Lord as my husband for over 30 years now. My! the miracles I have seen! When I found myself alone, after fighting, I finally gave up and said, ” well then OK, you promised to be a husband to the widow and I expect You to honor Your Word.”( That was alittle sassy, but true.) He has never left my side. People marvel. I marvel at his provisions.
I look forward to all the happenings you will have. Please write them down. Thank you for touching my heart today.
Your Friend,
Marlene
