Widow in Scriptures
http://widowed-journey.blogspot.com/
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name; extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation

To Day My Late Husband Would Have been 62 years Old.
Today is a very important day in my life . It is the day that my late husband was born. Today he would have been 62 years of age. (Happy Birthday to you my love!)
MyNiceProfile.com
Am I feeling sad? No. I am not. I rejoice in the fact that he is now celebrating in heaven. Do I miss him? Absolutely YES! If he were alive I would have taken him out to dinner or fix him his favorite dish, rice and peas with coconut milk, mixed vegetables and curried goat or ox tail. Not to mention carrot juice with condensed milk.
I would have bought him a lovely gift. (A secret..I won't tell you what it would have been. lol) Our daughter would have called him and wished him happy birthday!
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The 4th of this month would have made 38 years of happy marriage. We were married on the 4th of August, 1973.
Time heals. Yes it does. If you have just lost a loved one I know how you are now feeling. You feel as if you will never smile again. You feel a deep pain that will not just go away.
May I encourage you to pray and ask God to take you through this period of grief. You will go through it. The good news is that each year the pain will get less and less.

What Inspired Me To Write "Widows Cry"
I wrote this poem one evening when I was getting ready to go home while teaching at a private school in Tampa Florida.
It was Friday. I hated Fridays after the passing of my husband. Before he died I always look forward to Fridays. It was the beginning of the long weekend when we would have more time all by ourselves.
No lessons, no children and no correcting of books.
So while waiting for the clock on my classroom wall to strike 3 i sat in my chair and thought t..Tassel you have everything..you are debt free you have food, clothing, health and friends so why are you not happy.
I looked deep inside of my soul . I took pen and paper and wrote the poem:Widows Cry.
Widow's Cry
Lord I long for a family again
A family to call my own
It hurts to be alone!
The nights are long and muddle
No one to cuddle
No one to kiss
No one to share my wish
The house is noisy
From the music that blasts from the radio
The voices and the faces that speak and stare
From the t.v. in the empty family room
The tick-tock from the clock on the hard wall
in the hall
Yet I hear SILENCE!Screaming at me!
I'm alone
I'm alone
No One to call my own
I long for someone to talk with
To pray with
To dance with
To cry with
To laugh with
To share intimacy with
To eat with
Lord hear my cry!

Joy is here
I was happily maried for 29 years to a great man of God when suddenly without warning he had an heart attack. This was very painful for me. The day he died was the day that we had planned to visit our second grandchild whom he had never seen in the Cayman Islands.
When that happened I was very angry with God. I was very angry because my late husband and I served God faithfully for many years in the ministry in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and the United States of America.
I began to question God. I knew there was a God somehere out there but I felt the way Jesus felt whne he cried,"My God, My God why has though forsaken me."
My husband and I were just about to enjoy the empty nest. for many years we took care of our child and many other children..Now we were ready to relax and enjoy each other.
But this was not meant to be. In all of my grief God never left me alone.
He sent many people in my life to love and to encourage me.
The loneliness grew deep in my life . For a brief periodI dated two men which was not the will of God. Because of this though I was asked to be a speaker at a Widows Conference.
I was asked to share about dating again. see my blog.http://widowed-journey.blogspot.com/
From this experience I also wrote two poems, and words which I plan to use on book marks.
Rest in the lord and wait patiently for Him Psalm. 37:7
Wisdom
Answered prayers
Intuition
Tenacity/Time/ Trust
http://widowed-journey.blogspot.com/2008/09/widows-cry.html
http://widowed-journey.blogspot.com/2008/07/single-again.html
From this experience I have learned that weeping may endure for a time but joy comes in the morning. I thoght I would never laugh again.
Reading scriptures and listening to praise and worship songs were very helpful to me.
In May 2009 I lost my teaching job.
One Sunday as I was about to go through the door of my house on my way to church, I cried out to God and He said,"This is The House of Restoration".
I immediately went to my office, got on my computer and created a social net work site .
http://www.thehouseofrestoration.ning.com
This site is a place where anyone who has experienced los can come and find uplifting music, words of encouragement and laughter.
May have expressed to me how much this ministry have helped them.
When I lost my job he connected me to a company whose CEO is a Ministry.
This company helps Non-profit organization to raise all the funds they want. For over 30 years I was invloved in funds rasing for schools and churches being a teacher and pastors wife.
I am now an encourager at the church I attend. I alos volunteer to feed the homeless locally twice per week. I enjoy what I do now and joy has returned to me.
Presently I am in the process of writng a book,"Widows Journey"
Experiencing any kind of loss is not a pleasant thing. The pain is real. When it happens, you question God and ask , "Why me Lord?" Its worse when God remains silent.
The good news is, there is hope. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

It's Okay
It's okay to have the desire to want a mate again. Do not allow anyone to make you feel guilty when you express your desire to get back in the dating game.
This desire is natural.
1. God made us and he knows that it is not good for man to be alone.
Genesis 2:18
2. Marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled. God honors marriage
Hebrews 13:4
3. It is better to marry than to burn.
1Corinthians 7:8-9
4. He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22
5. Case for widows marrying or remaining single.
1Timothy 5:3-16
