He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater;
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase.
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure;
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure;
His pow'r has no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
From His fullness we have received . . . grace upon grace. John 1:16
Thank you so much for your sweet comments and emails. Your words of comfort and your prayer support mean more than words can say. God is good - we know this didn't catch Him by surprise - and we can feel His arms holding us close.

Oh my, Adrienne. I am writing through tears. I feel just terrible that I am just learning this now. I pray that God continues to carry you all through this most difficult time.
ReplyDeleteMay our prayers bring some comfort.
I have been holding you and your daughter and her children up in prayer since I learned of your son-in-laws death. I pray that God will use the loving arms of his people to hold you up and show you His love and care. How are you all doing?
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Adrienne. I was glad to see your sweet post this morning. You are all still in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne,
ReplyDeleteI am new to blogging and came across your beautiful site. My heart is filled with sorrow for you and your dear family.
I also have a daughter and a new son-in-law. I can't imagine what you are going through.
Please know you and your family are in my prayers.
May God's Grace cover you and pull you through this sad time in your life.
With Much Sympathy,

I so wish there was more I could do for you and yours but I am keeping prayers going. I have prayed for HIM to hold you all tightly in HIS loving arms..and, you are right in that this sorrow to you came as no surprise to HIM. HE has plans we don't understand...
