RE: Why TMT has been overseas12 Jun 2021 11:00
TMT,
Personally I know when I look back over my 56 years there are times where I have asked God as to 'why something had too happen'.
It has only been years later when I have been able to see exactly why and appreciate that whilst at the time it was truly awful (i.e. the sudden loss of my dear mother to a stoke at only 59 when I was 34 for one) that it happened for a reason (my father and I never really got along before she passed but in the years that followed we grew closer as he relied on me more and more we now have the relationship I had always wanted with him).
The loss of your wife is most likely something you will never get over ( I know my father still hasn't some 20 years on now) and as you say "When God closes a door, He opens a window".
We don't know what life has in store for us, but we can rest assured as Believers that whatever happens it is all part of his plan for our lives, and that he knows what is best for us.
We can also rest assured that eventually, one day, we will see those we have loved and lost once again, and never to be parted for all eternity (He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Revelation21:4).
Good luck with the next chapter of your life and God Bless (and I for one will miss your postings on here).
