I received the postcard below in the mail last week,
Painted by my friend
this was yesterday's devotion...
Every day I am comforted by visits, messages, phone calls,
scripture, cards, meals, food-gifts, flowers, songs and prayers
Thank-you all so very much!
As, through each kindness I learn
God's faithfulness at every turn
On Sunday, as I gazed at this view at my friend's home...
...I felt the presence of this verse...
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Ps.23:2
Dear Lord, supply my need today
To trust Your will, Your Word, Your Way
To love Your law then, to obey
In Jesus precious Name, I pray
Your rod and staff, they comfort Me
Your armour thwarts the enemy
Though dark the passage through death’s vale
The Light of Your Word will not fail
Dear Lord, in Thee I put my trust
Until my frame returns to dust
Help me to be faithful and true
Until my soul returns to You
I love you Lord, let nothing mar
My confidence in who You are
Through every gasp of grief and pain
Your perfect purpose will sustain
Your goodness and mercy abide
Save me from doubt's rebellious pride
Your thoughts reach far beyond my ken
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen

DeleteSo beautiful and needful Janet. God keeps reminding me to just 'do the next thing' as that's all He will give me the strength to do. I love how He carries and cradles us in these times. Lifting you up to the only One who knows the depth of the sorrow that you are passing through... Love you friend!
