Sneaker Waves of Sadness
Updated: Jan 26, 2022
Good morning friends. It is Thursday, April 15, 2021.
Yesterday was rough; today is a bit better...but still the tears are flowing too freely. It just hit me out of nowhere. Like a wave of sadness...like a sneaker wave. I miss my mate.
Wendell was the best helpmate in the world. If I needed something built, he did it. If needed something bought, he headed to the store. If I needed holes dug, he was the one digging. If I needed fill dirt, or bark, he was warming up his truck. He did so much for me and he did it with a cheerful heart, well maybe a bit of grumbling, but he never made me feel like I was a pain. Wendell did all the grocery shopping. He did all the laundry. He came behind me in the kitchen and cleaned as I cooked. He listened to my rants and he supported my ideas. Life was not always perfect, but he was perfect for me...and I miss him terribly today.
I left work early yesterday. I went straight home and crawled in bed. I took a 2 hour nap and it helped some. I have so much to be thankful for; truly I do and I AM...but these past 24 hours have been really hard. I feel like I should be researching scripture and trying to bless your day but instead I am going to leave you with these lyrics and this video I found this morning. I bawled like a baby watching it. God is so good and so faithful, we need only lean on Him.

"Great is thy faithfulness, O God my father
There is no shadow of turning with thee
Thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not
As thou hast been thou forever wilt be
And great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Summer and winter, springtime and harvest
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love
And great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Pardon for sin and peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside
And great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me"
Keep looking up. Jesus is coming soon!
