The Last
Story★★★★In a Choice Gleanings calendar, Alex Ross told of an elderly woman who lay
dying. Her broken-hearted husband sat beside her, tenderly holding her hand. They
had been married many years, and both knew that the time for parting had come.
As their eyes met, a tear flowed down the old woman’s wrinkled cheek. Gently, her
husband wiped it away. Then, with a quiver in his voice, he said, “Thank God,
Mary, that’s the last.”
The point
In life's deepest sorrow, the presence and love of a faithful spouse offers profound comfort and hope.
