Devotional


I have been reading a devotional for widows called,
Hope for an Aching Heart
by
Margaret Nyman

This devotional has been so helpful in the grieving proscess after losing a loved one.  She is so open about the things that she went through after losing her husband 6 weeks after his diagnoses of cancer.


The Lord has blessed me so with this devotional.

My church  has a worship service each Sunday afternoon at an assisted living home in town.  I have been going each week and visiting ladies that come to the services.  It has been such a blessing to me.  I go to be blessing to these ladies and each time I come away thanking the Lord for the way He has blessed me with just what I need each time from these precious elderly ladies.

  I am slowly adjusting to my new role as a widow, God is leading me day by day.

God Leads Us Along
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet
God leads His dear children along
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet
God leads His dear children along
 
Some through the waters, some through the flood
Some through the fire, but all through the blood
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song
In the night season and all the day long
 
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright
God leads His dear children along
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night
God leads His dear children along
 
Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose
God leads His dear children along
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes
God leads His dear children along
 
Away from the mire, and away from the clay
God leads His dear children along
Away up in glory, eternity’s day
God leads His dear children along

I am a widow, too, Cheryl, and my late beloved and I were married for 43 years. My heart is with you during this journey. Happy Easter blessings to you.
