Dear Sweet Blog Friends
Sometimes there are few words
That can express our pain
We've all felt it and been there
But I cannot imagine the pain
My Dear Friend Leah is feeling today
Leah became widowed about the same time I did
That is how we met
She was very blessed to find true love again
She married Joel and together they blended their families
Within the past 2 years they have
Added 3 siblings fro Bulgaria to their family
As well as a child they had been fostering
Together, in a few short years
They have 9 children
4 of whom were orphaned and still young
Last night
My Dear Leah
Became a widow again
Joel succumbed to complications after emergency surgery
I am at a total loss for words
And especially for understanding
Here are Leah's words:
There are no words to express my thanks for the outpouring of love and prayers concerning my precious Joel! He is now in the arms of Jesus! We hurt so badly but are so thankful this "goodbye" is only temporary until we will one day be reunited in Heaven. We will still need your prayers for a long time to come but especially in a few hours when I have to share this heartbreaking news with his 4 youngest babies. #Godisstillgood
Please, if you are so inclined,
Pray for and remember Leah and her family
In the days and weeks ahead!
God Be With Them
With you ..........
ReplyDeleteTo be widowed once is hard, to be widowed twice breaks my heart for her. Tears are flowing for her and her family, and prayers to Jesus to strengthen all of them.

I will just never understand (this side of Heaven) why things happen as they do...to have lost another husband to death seems so unfair. God bless her as she deals with the loss and mourns with her family. Those poor, poor children. xo Diana

ReplyDeleteCindy, this just makes me hurt. I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. What a precious family. I will pray for Leah and her family, that God will surround them with His love and be their strength and comfort during this difficult time. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteI know we aren't suppose to question what God gives or takes away, but it's almost impossible at times like this. I know you are hurting for Leah and her family, and also feeling the pain of your own loss; so I will pray for Leah and her children, but I will also pray for you, Cindy. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Carol
Oh Cindy, I am at a loss for words. I am so, so, so sorry to hear about your dear friend and her loss. Please know that I shall be covering her in prayer...may she rest in the Lord's arm and find comfort in Him.

Dear Cindy... so happy to meet you today, but oh my goodness, what a terrible sadness is in my heart to read of this, and yet my heart is amazed at the strength Leah showed in her post after the heartbreaking knowledge that she had lost her husband! Oh my. We just never know what the future holds, but thankfully she knows the Lord, and I pray He has been her Comforter and strength throughout this deep valley she is in. So happy to visit with you today and pray that the Lord's sweetest blessings and presence will be with you today :)
ReplyDeleteCindy, you came into my thoughts today and I realized we haven't heard from you in awhile. I had missed this post and want to add my thoughts and sadness for your friend's terrible loss. I just can't imagine losing your husband. I don't know how you do it. I was just thinking about you and hope you are doing well..xxoJudy
