The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
A few
days ago, I received the news that my dear friend's husband had passed away in
a tragic accident. This verse above came to mind to share with her in her
grief. She is brokenhearted as are her three children.
Denise
has the most beautiful vegetable and flower gardens and I was able to take some
pictures of her flowers while she picked me some fresh veggies and a big bouquet of white hydrangeas. Little did we know the tragic
events that would unfold that week.
God
has a plan, we don't know why things happen as they do, but HE KNOWS and he
PROMISES in Psalm 34:18 he is close to the brokenhearted.
Please
pray for my friend Denise if you would, and her three children. Life will
be hard for them now, but it is not without HOPE.
Here
are some pictures I took of her flowers last week.
Thank you for stopping by and for your prayers. If you'd like to let Denise know you are praying for her and her family, feel free to leave a comment, she will take comfort in that.

The Lord truly is close to the broken-hearted. May Denise take joy and comfort in the beauty that surrounds her, knowing that she is only separated from her husband for a time; they will be rejoined.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers go out to your friend Denise and children.
