Staying Faithful

I talked to a friend whose husband left her and their two small children. He not only left them but he cleaned out the bank account…and when she asked him how she was to live and support their children he said, “figure it out…I am through”. She was devastated as this was such a shock…she was concerned as she was not sure how she was going to support herself and her children…and she was challenged beyond her comprehension. For two weeks I watched, prayed and supported her emotionally. When you looked at her she had a vacant stare, but she continued doing all that needed to be done. Friends gathered together for prayers, gave her gift cards as well as cash to help her and she felt blessed. On the third week she arrived with a smile on her face…with renewed strength and courage to move forward. She stated her prayers were being answered as her soon to be ex-husband had returned some of their money and she felt God’s love. Through our constant and faithful prayers and complete trust in Jesus we not only survive tumultuous times but begin renewed with stronger faith, confidence and courage. Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord will keep you from all harm- He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both and forevermore. We are blessed with great family, friends and the love of God. Praise be! Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
