Click Here Endless Details Day 128 The loss of a spouse leaves you with endless details and paperwork at a time when you are not emotionally equipped for such matters. Marilyn shares: "Some of them are just little legal things you have to go through. All of a sudden you can't do it this way anymore; it has to be that way. You have to mark the dreaded box 'widow.' You realize suddenly you have become a different identity. But when I've really prayed over these things, the Lord has given me peace that I'll get through this." The Lord is faithful, and you will meet and accomplish one detail at a time, one day at a time, by His strength. "For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10). Lord Jesus, Your power shines through me when I admit my weakness and my dependence on You. By Your grace I am stronger than I ever was before. Amen.
