Memories (keeping faith during difficult times)

As of this date, it has been 120 days since my wife Melissa has passed away, when the Lord lifted her up into Heaven and Christ Jesus wrapped His Loving Arms around her.

My wife had been through so much over the last nine years.  In early 2011, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, was declared cancer free in early August 2011, and had a bone marrow transplant on September 1, 2011.

But afterward, she had a series of complications, one of which was the losing of much of her sight by mid-October 2011.  She remained strong, tough-minded, and faithful to God throughout her life, and in looking at her daily Facebook memories it shows.

I go through her Facebook memories every single morning.  Some I share again, to keep her memory alive in others, while the most I read and admire.  She had a very strong faith.  She put her trust in God, no matter the outcome.  And it isn't just one post from one year.  She has repeated posts, every single day, for years.

No mater what you are going through, put your complete faith and trust in the Lord. Open the Bible.  Read His Scriptures.  Study them.
