" .....whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." James 4:14
So much sadness...as I ponder how I spend my time looking on the inside and "improving and doing ", with self and family, I have failed to look out; look out for lost souls. Saving , salvation , redemption is all God's working, however I feel like I have failed somehow today, as I watch my neighbor , suffer , once again , with loss. This time the loss of her husband.
I can only pray that I can be of some comfort to her, be there, listen, show the love of Jesus; mourn with she who mourns...as my heart breaks for her. May God prepare her to receive the only place of rest and comfort and peace that can come from only Him, through Christ.
I really don't know what to say.........let's not waste the day...."tomorrow is promised to no one..."
When I was a widow, someone in church said to me, "We want to help, but we don't know how to help. Please tell us." And so I did. I had a friend come to the house to babysit me while I had the sad task of going through my husband's clothes to get rid of them. Most of his clothes went to the church's rummage sale that year and I didn't help with that rummage sale.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor may continue to need you throughout the year and on the anniversary of her husband's death.
