I have only just read this wonderful story of this wonderful woman! It has increased my own faith, just reading how she has managed to overcome. I too, have had many things to overcome in my lifetime, including the loss of my sister who was blown up in a laboratory explosion at the tender age of 19, then my dad, who died five years later of a heart attack, right in front of the local primary school, and two years later, my mum died of kidney disease. All this happened in 7 years, then, 11 years after mum, my youngest daughter died, choking on her own vomit. The only warning I had of any of these deaths was two weeks before mum, when the doc told me she would not live. I had no other brothers or sisters, and all my relatives are overseas, as we came to Australia from England when I was just 6.
The only one I could turn to was Jesus. He helped me through it all, and even in my daughter's death, there was good, as it brought my beloved husband to Him. He gave his heart to Jesus the night Hayley died. That was 23 years ago! Praise the Lord, we are all still in love with Him. My son and my older daughter are both beautiful believing Christians, as is my son-in-law, and my three beautiful grandchildren.
God has also helped me through 5 life-saving operations over the past 15 years, twice I died on the table, and twice I was sent back - the Lord hasn't finished with me yet! He brought me out of the wheelchair I was in for 7 years, and can now walk around a supermarket. Such a simple thing - we take so much for granted! I cannot imagine not having the Lord in my life - it would be hopeless! With Him I have hope to carry on, and hope of meeting my loved ones on the other side one day!
Praise the Lord for people like you and your sister Betty, and your mother as well.
Thank you for posting the story,
