Him, and the middle aged man
Had to give up his job.
Three to five years, the doctors
Diagnosed.
He and his wife surmised that their
Money would stretch long enough for
Her to also quit her job in order to be
His caregiver.
But the Lord extended the life of
This husband much longer, for
Fourteen years, in fact.
And when he died the couple's
Bank account was nearly
Depleted.
His widow was trying to stave off
Worry, trying to trust her Father for
Her future when the notice came in the mail.
Since she didn't understand the form, she
Called the Social Security office for
Help.
"It looks like there was a miscalculation," the
Official said, "You will be reimbursed."
And the woman received a check for $18,000.
Astonishment!
Overwhelming gratitude!
Exploding joy!
When the doubts creep up on my
Widow friend now, she looks back at
The Lord's provision, and in the remembering
She is able to look ahead with
Trust and peace rather than with
Worry and dread.
