Thanks to the prayers of dear friends and relatives I awakened this morning feeling good. In fact, better than I have for quite a few weeks now. Today is the second anniversary of my husband, Duane E Moll's passing.
My good friend Debbie arrived bright and early so Mary and I could go to the grave and leave some new flowers and enjoy our good memories of his life together.
To our surprise, the apricot trees in the orchard next to the cementery were in full bloom. Behind us, Mt Lamborn rises to over 11,000 feet on a clear and beautiful Spring day. What a breathtakingly beautiful place for his final resting place and a pleasant surprise.
If you are new to my blog, my late husband, Duane, was driven by the passion and vision to establish a family enterprise together. God opened the door for my bread baking hobby to grown into a family business that continues to support our family.
After his passing, I received literally hundreds of cards and emails from customers who appreciated his gentle spirit, and the time he spent on the phone helping them and ministering to their hearts.
By God's grace I am still in the process of moving ahead with a new life. How blessed I am to have been married nearly 25 years to this godly man.
Oh, has it already been two years! I know you have walked a rough terrain but the LORD has been ever so faithful. The saints have been faitfhul to hold you in prayer. His presence is ever near as you continue to draw onto the LORD more and more. Run, with endurance. Love you.

Prayed for you at Duane's passing and have kept you in my thoughts and prayers since. I'm sure Our Dear Lord in heaven is allowing Duane to watch over you and He has your family held tight in His hand. It is refreshing to see that your faith has seen you thru and you can see the light on the otherside of such a loss. With faith, we know Duane is with his Savior, and that alone is a comfort.
ResponderEliminarMay you continue to be blessed.
