When You Feel Left Alone

Power to Cope When You Feel Left Alone

Mary Paulson Lauda, a businesswoman who worked alongside her husband for years, built up funds which they both delighted in sharing with others. Then the devastating day came while mountain climbing  far from home. The shock of her husband’s sudden death tested every fibre of Mary’s being. But years of serving and trusting God carried her through. When the shock passed she faithfully continued her daily time of devotion and constant prayer. Now 94 years young she looks back at a life filled with philanthropy, totally modest about the wisdom God has given in guiding her who to help and what to support with the financial blessings she has received. She understands that all she has belongs to God and she must be careful very careful with what is His. The secret of coping from her testimony is obvious: Whether it be the horror of the sudden loss of a husband or caring for her dying daughter, one doesn’t have to live dwelling in sorrow and loneliness. Mary looks up and looks around, living by His strength helping others.
