Thessalonians 5:23-24 Ephesians 5:19-20 Colossians 3:14
It's NOVEMBER!! I am amazed at how fast we have gotten to this next to last month of the year. Mine started with tragedy of my grandson's dad being killed in a snowmobile accident in the first few weeks of January. Grandson who is thirteen was with him and was not hurt at all (Thankful). I will say that about a week prior, I felt an urgent -down to the knees - type of urge to say a prayer that my grandson would be kept safe. In my mind when that happened, I thought it was because of the school shootings around the country that have been happening and I do worry about him at school and other children as well as people everywhere anymore with the shootings that have happened in our country. Little did I know that few days later on that weekend with his dad that would happen. I can only be Thankful and believe that God's hands came down and kept him safe. He was thrown, but no injury whereas his dad was gone immediately.
Then in May, as I've already told you that my hubby and piece of my heart was gone in May. Got up that morning and within about 15 minutes he was gone. I ended up in the ER. Shock can do some strange things to the body. I also think that comes in the form of protection when our body does that. I have learned there is no way to prepare for the death of a spouse - even though I knew he had COPD and the end results of that, and over the months and years that he had that, I would think about that and how it would be - but there is no way to ward off the grief, and it is immense. But, leaning on God and people who care and even the group that I have come to know each Sunday here, has helped more than you guys can know. I pray for peace each day to carry me, and am Grateful that it is helping.
And my kids have more than stepped up for me more than I could have imagined too.
Then in August, my daughter-in-law's mother died. She had been sick for a while, and suffered a lot.
So, I am in no hurry for a New Year to roll around. I'm still trying to contemplate this one. :). I have taken a job working part-time, which helps get me out and about with people. I fear I was becoming a hermit, and I've never been a social butterfly anyway as I can tend to be introverted.
Anyway, enough about me. I hope this year has treated all that visit in a good way, and November and the holidays will be a blessing. Thanks for stopping by, and hope you can share a scripture blessing. If you don't blog, just share in the comment section.
Have a great Sunday. Linkup is below.
