THE SINGLE'S MIGHT TOO
The widow gave her all to the Lord, even when the Pharisees were giving much riches, she gave her one small, yet only treasure....Her widow's mite!
It was all she had left to give, and in return God richly blessed her.
God has blessed me so much in my lifespan, but more especially in the past few months as I have seen myself taking on the role of a widow.
He has become my widow's mite. He has given me my all in all, and given me His widow's might. His strength, and might is sufficient for me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It may take me a little longer to do them, but they will get done!
Having gone through the death of a son in 1995, and a cerebral brain hemorrhage in 1996, I knew the faithfulness of God, to see me through. I learned that from my Grandmother early on. She told me how Jesus was going to prepare a place for me and that He would come back and take me to be with Him in Heaven. I believed that promise at the age of five, and His promises have stayed with me ever since then! When my husband became ill with Cancer in 2008, I knew I was looking at a long road of prayer and trusting in the One who has never lost a battle! David's Cancer came back in full force in 2010, and He faced death square in the face on September 26th. My God, was faithful to me to the very end though!
He was with me every step of the way. The widow's "Might", that He provided for me was strength beyond anything that I could ever imagine!
I wrote out His obituary for the newspaper before he died and I wrote the service for the funeral! God kept my thoughts and mind completely clear and level headed during this time too!
I took care of every single detail that needed to be taken care of until that Thursday night, when He allowed my feelings to surface, and I knew when He did, that the time was close! When you know your God so intimately, you can tell when His timing is close. That Sunday, He even allowed me to give my goodbye's before He took him Home!
My God is The Best !
His Might is the best Widow's Might........ and Single's Might too!
