“HIS STRENGTH!”
Isaiah 40:29
“He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” 

I never want to belittle the ordeals that people encounter.  Perhaps the worst thing we can say to someone who is going through a "shadow of death" experience is; I know what you are going through. We don't! It is impossible for us to know what is causing the pain within a person.  But the Lord knows!

I vividly recall sitting at the bedside of our daughter as she was dying. Joyce had gone home and it was just Brenda and I in that quiet hospital room. That little girl in a frilly pink dress had now become a mother of three beautiful children, and was just moments from ascending to be with the Lord.

This was no time for me to focus on the loss, but on the joys that awaited her in glory. As I focused upon the glory which awaited her, I almost felt a pang of homesickness for heaven. One of the Scriptures I quoted for Brenda was Psalm 23. Verse 4 was especially precious: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me." It was this promise that made her funeral a few days later a celebration of praise.

Some people experience sickness and incapacitation of one sort or another.  In those times it is well to consider the way God's people have suffered across the centuries of time.  Some of the greatest songs or poems of praise were penned at times of suffering. 
  
Blessings dear hearts!  Walk with God today and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
