I went to Bible study tonight, and a woman who attended Bible study in December 2021 came. She owns a home in our community, but only visits for a few months a year. She lives in Canada for the rest of the year.
As soon as I saw her, I immediately asked her how her husband was. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. My dear friend informed me her husband passed away in January 2022.
Tears sprang to my eyes.
This last year has been incredibly hard. There have been so many times I did not want to go to Bible study, but I kept going because I knew one day my two friends would be back in town. They had told me they would return in early 2023.
For many weeks, I fought to get through the time at Bible study. The one thing which kept me going was knowing my two friends would return.
I was informed by a member of Bible study my dear friend was back in town. I thought it was odd only the wife was mentioned and not the husband. I prayed to God. I asked if her husband may have passed away. I heard a voice say he died shortly after their last visit. I did not want to believe what I heard.
When I went to Bible study, the woman said, “My husband died shortly after our last visit.” I was thunderstruck. It was almost the identical words I had heard during my prayer.
I am very grateful for this man’s life. For one year, he kept me motivated. May his memory continue to be a blessing.
