| I was going through a very bad time in my life. I lost my job and my husband lost his not long after.( My husband was an alcoholic)We could no longer afford to rent the home we were living in, so we had to move.My husband found this really old farm house that had wood heat ,electrical problems, and septic problems.I was at such a low that I put myself in a mental health inpatient program.when i returned home there was my husband among a total mess, he didn't do anything to make this new place a home. there were dirty dishes, full ashtrays,beer cans, and nothing moved or put away. I had had it!! I told him to get out.At night I would pray and cry for God to give me a sign that he was with me and to give me the strenght to carry on. I learned at in the program to take one day at a time, sometimes we have to take it one minute at a time.I started to make this place a home. One day at a time! I still prayed and cried at night for God to give me a sign. One day I was making a rock garden and I was going in the barn to collect the rocks that were around the base of the barn, as I was digging out a rock I saw something in the dirt. I went to see what it was. Here in the dirt was my sign from God! Here in the dirt was this plain metal cross on a leather necklace. My husband has since passed away from alcohol poisioning and I have moved 2 times since and I still take it one day at a time , and sometimes one minute.I shall never lose faith in God, he gave me my sign. |
