Surviving Spouse Corner - March 2026

Dear Members, it’s hard to believe that March is already here. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Some of us had a difficult past year, but with God’s help, we made it through. He is always with us and it’s amazing how wonderfully He works when we call on Him for help, with a sincere heart and a humble spirit.

I say this because the day after New Year’s Day, He heard my prayers. That morning, the bathroom sink did not have hot water. I thought that maybe I needed to let it run for a while, but no, no hot water. Then I said to myself “now what am I going to do, it’s a holiday no one is probably working”.

So I prayed and said to Heavenly Father that He knew that I needed the hot water. young man that had fixed a sink facet in my house a few months ago. Then I thought about a When I called him, I told him what was happening and he said not to worry that he would be at my house in 45 mins.

When he came to my house and checked the water heater, he saw that the pilot had gone out. He turned it on and realized that the area around it was wet and saw that there was water in the pan where the heater sits. He checked it carefully and found that it had three leaks and said, “Mrs. Sullivan you are very lucky, because I have seen where the leaks explode and the water runs all over the floors”.

He then told me that I needed a new water heater. He proceeded and went and bought the heater and he and his assistant installed it that same day. He charged me a very reasonable price for his labor and the cost of the heater was the price after he got the
discount on it.

My daughter said that was amazing and I said “No Dear, that was a miracle”. I really and truly have no words to thank God. He is our amazing, awesome, Glorious, Majesty on High, who loves us so much and hears our prayers and is there for us no matter what, because He is the God of joy, peace, miracles and love.
