Chris talks about how he has adapted to various losses.
His constant cheerfulness and appreciation for things in the moment, are outshone by his ultimate hope…
Chris says: Life in later years can be challenging. In 2002 I lost my wife, Shirley, to cancer. Losing the person closest to you is tough but I felt God protecting and carrying me through. It was comforting to know she was out of pain and had gone home to be with the Lord. God’s promise is: “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
But as the body ages and fails I have a sure hope…
Although it was hard adjusting to life on my own, it was so good to know God’s presence at all times. I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 67 years and this has got harder to manage with age. A couple of years ago my leg became infected and I had to have it amputated and then recently I’ve lost some vision in my left eye. But as the body ages and fails in various ways, I have a sure hope of a new body, trusting in Jesus’ resurrection. And I am looking forward to being united again with Shirley and with the Lord forever.
