DAILY DEVOTIONS, LIFELONG FAITH

I note your grieving request . . .

For my dear wife Karen – Sun, 12/03/2006 – 8:34am
Karen died very suddenly on Oct. 8, 2006 at 38 years of age. I miss her very much! Please pray for the repose of her soul and that I may experience peace during this Christmas season!

. . . because my late and very beloved wife, Sharon, too, died at thirty-eight years old.

There is a solution to the hardest parts of your grief. Pray for her so deeply and so often yourself, you begin to realize that many times your prayers turn to praying to her. These are signs that your prayers are helping her to God’s side, and she can beg Him to comfort you in her behalf.

In the meantime, my dear sad friend, know others are imploring God, in your behalf and circumstance, as they once-and-still have been prayed for by others. Some us have gone just miles and miles in your shoes.

Any children? Be ever so gentle in knowing how much they need your greatest love now. Grow great in heart – mighty in spirit! – for them, and be as God’s love come alive for them. Even if they grow somewhat tired of you – and, you of them? – know that they can never grow tired of your love.

Peace, and from our God-Father’s very deepest care, this Birthday season for His Son, and our Lord, Jesus Christ.

More – may you know all the love God has for you, and from such wonder and sweetness, take of peace in your heart.

I remain your obedient servant, but God’s first,

Pristinus Sapienter

Sixty-two years old in a young way - I'm a Grandpa! - long a widower and for too short a time a child of God who attends to Christ and His Church. CE has given me information, but, more importantly, helped me find ways to voice my thoughts. My primary listeners are Christ, Who accepts so much as prayer, and myself, who is still but a catechumen in so many ways. And, you know how you need prayer? Well, I need prayer many times more than you. And, when you do pray for me, the Lord listens and responds. Enough about me - let's talk about Jesus.
