In Memory of James Langley Harman

I woke up this morning and greeted the Lord with a smile. I told Him how much I loved Him and how very thankful I am for all that He has done for me. It didn't take long for the tears to start flowing on this somber day. My first husband passed away two years ago today. Many would say that he was a smart and determined kind of guy. He was certainly the best car salesman in the world. He always out-sold everyone :) He would sometimes work 12 hours a day for days on end. Just had to get one more sale! What a ham! One Christmas, I remember mailing out over 300 Christmas cards to customers of his. I'm sure I can go on and on remembering special times in his life. Today, I want to offer you some encouragement. I find comfort in Isaiah 57

1 Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. 2 For those who follow Godly paths will rest in peace when they die.

I know EXACTLY where James is today. I know that he would not have been able to handle the evil that has come and will continue to come. If you've lost a loved one, I'm so deeply sorry and my prayer is that you will find some peace and comfort like I have. I remember when I headed back home that night after they left the house with his body, all I could do was speak in tongues. The TRUE comforter showed up, just like He promised He would and surrounded me. When I didn't know what to pray or say, The Holy Spirit stepped in on my behalf. I will never forget that moment, EVER. You can have that same comforter step in on your behalf. The Bible says that any who ask for the Holy Spirit can receive Him. I'm not sure how people live without Him. I'm certainly not sure how people live with Him for a season and just leave Him, like He never existed or did anything for them... I, however, will NOT GIVE UP. I WON'T GIVE IN. I'LL KEEP TRUSTING, TRUSTING IN THE LORD. I'm going to stand my ground, and I won't turn around. I'll keep trusting, trusting in the Lord. Why? Because I am devoted to Him. I'm so devoted to Him.

From My House to Yours,
