The Lord Is Holding Us

The Lord Is Holding Us
You see my husband and I have been going through grief together and the pain that's in his soul, only because he was thinking that God was going to take me home and He just didn't want me to go away from this life so soon. We just held each other and I had a talk with him after He had gone to church. I had someone staying with me until he got back home. He expressed to me that He had gone down to the altar and shared his soul with the Lord and had one of the brothers talk with him at that altar sunday morning. I was indeed so happy for him. I just left that unto the both of them and the Lord, knowing Jesus will answer Him in ways that only he would understand by leaving it with Him. You see he was thinking about that in my up and coming surgery on friday 12, 2006 Now, to me he's been the best husband I ever had in my life. I am so thankful he did what he has done in his life. I sit here in prayer myself only because I didn't know which way it would go or turn out on that day.Yes , we had worries, concerns and I had felt doubt myself in wondering if Jesus would be taking me home as well. I honestly know that I'm in his care and he loves me and I am one of His children. So we just let it out as an individual person in the Lord and then left it at his feet. I know that His time is what will be at one's own end in this life. It's just hard to give it to Him what's inside of a person, in going through it themselves and as a couple. In knowing this our precious Father sure has a lot to say in His most heavenly scriptures. Through searcing them out and in knowing I will be in eternity with Him. But it's that loss of those that love me that hurts them one by one, even though they understand who has taken their loved one home. Yet some of those that don't know the Lord in one's family will know that the death of a person lies with the savoir that day and in hearing at that party of going home to be with the one they loved the most, all hope is in seeing them there one day. [Scriptures: Ps. 91:4-9;2Cor.1:3,4; 1Thess.413,14;Re.21:4; Isa.41:10Isa.46:10b,11b;1Cor.13:1-8,13;John10:27,28;Isa.43:21;Ps.47:1,6,7Ps.147:1] What a wonderful Party it is when someone is taken home. Helping others in giving ones testimony when they lived it and give it to others, in the praises unto God, in going Home, to being free throughout all eternity. That's how it is and what I know to be true in everything that we have been through, in seeing one's end in life. cathy ..catcmo2006
