Dates Slipping By…

It’s 11:00 P.M. and I just now realized it’s the 10th of the month, 16 months since Ken died. After reaching a year since Ken‘s passing, the date of the month since March 10,2021 seems to be slipping by in this second year without as much heart wrenching experience. I am adjusting each month more and more to my life without Ken and with so much more of life to live. And more on that later…

Not a coincidence that my wall calendar this month has The verse Ken wanted us all to know and remember. Romans 8:28

Thanking God for the many blessings and meaningful moments he is providing to me each day on this new path. Just today: New friends I met on a walk with my pup Kippy. Memory pop up post from 3 years ago of a network of friends in senior living, neighbor and friend Kippy and I spent time with tonight on our walk, text from work friend praying for each other, quick visit with family walking distance away and text with family just miles away, text from family in another state, worship and teaching that filled and inspired me, a home to rest and remember the countless blessings I receive daily from my Heavenly Father. And thankful that the monthly date of Kens passing is slipping away from where at times became an all consuming grief and loss day.

Thank you for sharing in this journey with me. I appreciate you!

May you experience the blessings and love that God had for you each day.

¹⁴ For this reason I kneel before the Father,¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶ I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
