No Troubles on Tuesday.

Wow, what a day of blessings today has been. GOD must have looked at me today and said "My sweet, sweet child, I am just going to rain blessings down on you till your face hurts from smiling so much!" and then HE did !

Did you know that it is ok to smile, laugh and live even when your heart is broken? Well it is! Today, the sun was shining, the air was cool, the flowers were blooming and GOD was everywhere I looked, touched, smelt and felt. HE was so present and so alive. I truly feel sorry for people who don't have HIM in their lives because even when you have troubles, struggles and problems, all things are better when you have the LIGHT, LOVE and ARMS of HIM around you.

A very dear friend took me to lunch and we openly talked about GOD's work in my life and my compounded grief with David and Bo's death. We shared the way that GOD was working within me to change, mold and use me for HIS purpose. It was a blessing of great magnitude.

Dinner was spent with another dear sweet wonderful friend who cooked for me and opened her home and heart to me. She sang my favorite song"Cry to Jesus" and played the piano for me. It reminds me so much of David - "and when you take you last heartbeat, fly to Jesus, just fly to Jesus" - I love that song. She honored the LORD with her music and humbled me with the beauty of her words.

On the way home a young lady with an organization Women of Faith called me. I have never met this young woman, but after sharing my story with her, she prayed over me, blessed me and provided me with the blessing of tickets to the conference in November. I have been praying about attending. GOD answers prayers and now I have a new friend in Jesus and an answered prayer.

One of the things D and I talked about during his illness was what would I do with my time after he went to Heaven. I told him I wanted to glorify GOD and honor our marriage because I would feel that he was always with me. I told him I would not spend it in bars, I would not be chasing younger men or any other men for that matter(we laughed about that with Jill). He was concerned that I choose something that would be worthwhile and meaningful. My time is spent with my GOD, my wonderful family, my church, my jobs, our business and my friends. Any way that these things allow me to praise and worship GOD brings such happiness and joy to my soul, it takes my grief to a place that I can handle because when you walk in the light, there is not to much room for the darkness.

My prayer is that today I did a better joy of honoring my FATHER in HEAVEN and my husband is pleased. I will not cry myself to sleep tonight, but rather I will sleep with a smile on my face knowing that D smiled as he heard the prayer of blessing from Stephanie and the beautiful music of Angela. GOD, D and I had a beautiful day today - Hope and pray you did too.
