These next few weeks are not going to be easy for me.  In just 2 weeks on Jan. 29, I will have the first anniversary of my husband, Frank’s, death as well as what would have been our 50th anniversary.  He died the night of our 49th.  It seems appropriate that God would remove him from my life on earth the same night that we began our life together 49 years ago.  So having these two anniversaries on the same day doesn’t bother me.  I am requesting prayer because I have never walked this road before and while I know God is enough for anything I have to face in life, I want the grace and wisdom only He can give to go through the pain of Frank’s loss and come out honoring our wonderful Lord.

I have talked with enough widows over the years to know that the grieving doesn’t end just because a year has passed.  I know there will be times continuing into the future.  Through it all, I want to walk in a manner pleasing to the Lord and lifting up His glorious Name.  Frank is with Jesus in heaven. I have that assurance from the Word of God so I am happy for him.  One day I shall be with Jesus also.  What a day that will be!

In the meanwhile, over the next few weeks, please pray for me.  Thank you.
