What Can A Heart Say?

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

What can a heart say of the generosity of others? Most of my life I have given to others never expecting anything in return, but return it does at some point in life when God knows that it is needed most. It’s a spiritual law. As many may already know, my sweet and darling wife in accordance to man has cancer. She spent a week in ICU until being turned over to hospice for care.. We have always done everything together and this would be no different. We chose to bring my angel home where I would be her constant companion and caregiver. Man has given up hope, but I shall never surrender to my fears and shall always hope.

I knew that taking an unpaid leave from work would drain our savings and place a serious burden on our resources. Oh what to do was the question. Go back to work or spend my time with the woman who is my heart and soul? That was easy…I would stay to care for my wife; to hold her hand and pray; to calm her fears and to love her every second of the day. After all, God said that He would never leave us or forsake us and that His children would never beg of bread. So what can this heart say of the generosity of others but thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and that I know for fact that God will bless you for your kindness. I will not mention names, though I would like to…you and God know who you are….THANK YOU SO MUCH for your gifts of love and thank you all for your tender prayers for mercy.

What Can A Heart Say?

 

Hearts held out in hope for a brighter day.

Kindness through God’s whisper softly came.

Heeding His call; others have sacrificed.

So that another shall glory in His presence divine.

 

Though of these days which twist this weary heart and mind.

Though of the struggles that come; by others His glory shines.

God bless the humble as of His will they so sincerely seek.

God bless you all and may the Lord God forever your soul to keep.

You are a wonderful husband and live the vows you have taken on your wedding day. You are a beautiful example for all to witness. My prayers and thoughts are with you and Leah.

(((Allen))),

To have a partner who exemplifies the meaning, "through good times and bad, 'til death us do part." That is your relationship with your beloved wife. So nice to see you sticking by her, bolstering her comfort, her faith. You are a shining example of agape (unconditional) love. I continue to lift you and Leah (and China) up in prayer. NEVER GIVE UP. Beautiful write, in spite of fear and uncertainty: God will bless and honor YOU. You are a modern day Job. Did you know that? That's who you remind me of. Even though you've lost, you've won and will be rewarded. How, I don't know, but you will. I feel it in my soul. =] Love you guys,

(((HUGS))) and prayer, Karla.

Leah is so fortunate to have a loving, caring husband to take care of her and not leave anything get in the way of her care. You are doing right and God will surely reward you. Stay calm, and prayers are coming to you from me each night. You two are on my mind lots throughout the day. Know what you are going through, not a pleasant thing right now, but at least you can still show her your love. Never give up hope either.

You and Leah are in my prayers; I said prayers for you last night at church during Bible Study; will continue to pray for you Sunday at church, and every day in between. God be with you and your precious Leah during this time of trial and uncertainty! I love you both!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

J. Allen,
What can one say at a time like this? May God be with you and your precious Leah at every moment. May He make each moment last a lifetime. You both are always in my prayers and my heart. God bless.

Blessings and love,

You are doing the right thing, just know this in your heart and you will never have to regret the moments that you didn't spend with her. I am so proud of you, and also of Leah. Living in dignity and in the glory of God, is all that is asked of you. May peace, love, and angel's light surround you now and forever.
Peace, my friends, peace,
Amber "V"
