It's hard to believe that it has been two weeks since my husband went to sleep in my arms and woke in the arms of Jesus.
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind with the funeral and the memorial service.
But yesterday I think the reality of it all started sinking in. I was back home in an empty home where memories of Jerry still linger. I can almost imagine him at times sitting in his recliner looking over at me, telling me he loves me.
Sometimes I sit here and ask God, "What do I do now?" People think I'm a strong person, but right now I'll admit my heart becomes fearful at times.
But, I have no complaints. God blessed us this past year more than I can imagine. We saw the love and kindness of family and friends and we saw the wonderful grace of our Lord and Savior.
I tell myself each night that God is still in my tomorrow, leading the way; and that each day He will give me the grace and strength I need for that day.
Lamentations 3:22-23
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
God bless you. Our family still prays for you at family devotions.
