How God turned my bad day good yesterday Well, its been just a long hard week for me. My mother, who has been sick for some time and very sick for the past 3 months, died Monday. Yesterday we said our final goodbye and laid her to rest. I could never had made it without the love, prayers, and support of our family and friends. One of the last coherant conversations I had with my mother was shortly after I lost my wedding ring and I told her about it. That was 3 months ago. I have looked every where and given up hope of ever finding it. Got home from the funeral, got some things out of the car. On the way into the house my wife said "I got something to show you that will make you feel better". I said "with company in the house?" which I usually say in a jokingly "romantic" way. She says "No better then that." Of course I said "whats better then that?". We get inside and she shows me my wedding ring. While I was getting the stuff out of the car. My wife looks down in our muddy driveway. The driveway we drive in and out of everyday. Walk around everyday, 2, 3 , 4 times a day. In the mud of a cold rainy day, layed my wedding ring. I prayed all day for God to get me through, to show me strength. God, yes I believe God used my mother, my wife, and my faith. To make a day with very bad memories, contain a great memory. Praise God.
I do not pretend to understand or ever try to explain things like what just happened to you. I simply rejoice in them and wish you my prayers and condolences on your loss!
What a wonderful thing to share with us mulligan. Doesn't God work in such wonderful ways? May God bless and keep you through this difficult time.
