When I got married, I expected to live happily ever after. The apple cart was overturned when my husband died prematurely. I thought life was over, how could I go on.  My husband and I had just become empty nesters.  Now I was alone, at least that is what I thought. Today, the Lord’s presence fills my days. He brings an abundance of joy, far exceeding my imagination. It is not always as you expect.

I pray “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Eph 3:17-21
