I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Being a Christian, I loved your prayer of Salvation. I pray others did also. There is nothing like having the Holy Trinity in your heart. Thank you Sandra for your advice to the ladies on finding "Mr. Right." Even though this information came from years ago, ala Ann Landers, It's so true today. I look forward to your future videos. This one being on Easter, Resurrection Sunday was special to me.
Beautiful prayer, moved me to tears. As a sister in Christ, I am blessed to see how God is using you through your channel to share His Good News! God bless you, sister! Great video.
Yes, I'm a young widowed Baptist Pastors wife from Georgia. I'm content, no one can come close to what a godly man I had.. prayers for all of you who are walking the road of being widowed .. God is my everything. Washed by the blood, saved by grace🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕 I been walking the road for 3 years also. He treated me like a Princess...
Another reason not to look for the same man we were married to before, no matter how wonderful he was: Because WE'VE changed. When you're with someone -- good or bad -- it changes you. You grow up during that time, and in many ways, you just change. When your partner dies, it can change you, too. So the person you are is different from the person you were when you were with him. At least, that's how it is for me; maybe not everyone. But I know that if I were to marry again, even though my husband was ideal for me, I would need someone different now. Thank you so much for sharing these videos, Sandra. They're really making me think. Thank you, too, for sharing the prayer and the Scripture, along with your thoughts.
Alyce-Kay Ruckelshaus I was married for 31 years and we were like peanut butter 'n jelly. Randy died 11 years ago and for the first 5-8 years, was waiting for me to get back to the woman I was when married. Well, she never returned - that was something I had to let go of. Your comment above turned into an "a ha" moment. I've now been on my own for 11 years and have also changed a lot in that time. I definitely agree with you, if I were to meet someone now, would be different from Randy, who I grew up with. His death changed me forever, and being on own since has made me a very independent woman plus I'm older too. Never thought of how much I've changed throughout especially these last 11 years. Appreciate your comment.
Yes, because when we go through changes we grow our bodies, mind and souls grow after pain and when we alone we grow to another level. Life is about storms and experiences. We grow to other levels. We get stronger. But we have to always have love in our hearts. Amen
I recently read a quote attributed to Lucille Ball, when someone asked why she remarried a man so different from Desi. She said something to the affect that the reason so many people have disastrous second marriages, is because they keep trying to find the same things in different people. That was my “aha moment”
This is such great advice I pray that so many people will listen to this if they're thinking about remarrying, this would be saved so many problems lives. I think about my own, married the first time for 19 years and then marrying my husband of almost 40 years, by God's grace it was awesome we went really fast about getting married, one thing I knew him all my life but he was a little bit older than me and we did not run in the same circles. I was at church girl and he was not, in the meantime he had given his heart to the Lord and when we met he had been serving the lord for a few years. God bless you and I'm loving you stories and your help ❤️
Mrs Peach, thank for your sweet comment. God will continue to be with us even if we make bad choices in a marriage. But, it’s so lovely when you do it God’s way!❤️💕🥰
How about women no longer need men in today’s world? Widowed since I was 49. Only realized I didn’t need one when I became a grandma at age 60, and wish I had all the time back I spent searching for something I did not need! Very happy at age 75. 😀
Thank you for this! May God bless your ministry on youtube (because that is what it is) ! (Titus 2:1-6) "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: {2} That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. {3} The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; {4} That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, {5} To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. {6} Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded."
Whoa - Ann Landers 😍 - things are WAY DIFFERENT out there from when that article was written. When I first moved to Arizona, I remember sitting in a little waiting area, talking to an older woman while I waited for my car to be serviced. She was a widow & I asked her, being this area has many retirees, if she was finding men to date. She rolled her eyes & said, “All they are looking for is a “nurse with a purse.” I thought that was so funny - but most likely true.🌵😜
Thank you Sandra! I really appreciate your videos! I lost my husband 5 months ago, and it has been the most difficult time of my life. My husband was awesome and I miss him so much!! Thanks for your videos, it is really helpful to hear you share your thoughts!!
Dear Sandra, there is not one answer for everyone, we all have to find our own path in life. All our marriages were very different as is our personalities and needs.
Sandra I am A new subscriber. We are the same age. My first video I watched of yours I relayed to it so much . My husband is still alive he is 83. Things seem to be going downhill somewhat. But he is still in pretty darn good health. So a lot of the things you’re talking about I’m trying to take notes for when this actually will happen. Although his family has longevity such as 96 to hundred. So who knows I may go before he does. I have a suggestion. You talked about papers that you had to get all together after a husband‘s death. Could you possibly go over some of those so we out there could plan ahead and know what to do. Sincerely, me. I am a Christian and I love Jesus. my husband in such a prayer warrior. God Bless you keep the Faith.
The most important thing for me to do after my husband passed was the income tax. You have to do that for him.i am in Canada,so may be different somewhere else.
I'm a widow too...I don't understand why u are looking for a man after only 3 months....it's been 4 yrs for me...I was happy for forty years but now I'm enjoying living alone for first time in my life....not looking for a man...never even crossed my mind...
Me too. I don’t understand. I was married 45 years. He passed away only 2 1/2 months ago. I cannot imagine even considering another man…ever. What is wrong with the woman?
I noticed Sandra , where someone made a comment about not getting religious. Said she already had a religion. Please don’t let that discourage you talking about & bragging on our Lord Jesus ! Your very words might through the Holy Spirit bring someone to except Jesus as their personal savior.I am a widow of almost 3 yrs. I could not have made it this far without the Lord being with me . Brag on Jesus for he is worthy of our praise . Bless you Sandra you are such a beautiful lady .
I just discovered your videos, and what a wonderful surprise your a Christian, I am saved and some days I long to leave this world and be with the Lord. I lost my only child 13 years ago and my younger only sibling and I miss her so much. Your message’s enlighten me.
I thought about Ann Landers as soon as you held up that newspaper article. All good things to think about. I myself am not interested in having another man in my life. Maybe one day but the thought of holding the hand of a man, or anything else makes me feel ill. I guess I had the best in my mind and for now I’m fine by myself. Or rather I’m not alone. God is always with me. He is my everything for now. Thanks for the big hug Sandra. I needed it. You are absolutely gorgeous on the inside and the outside. Your skin is radiant. Luv your voice also. God bless.
I did the prayer with you, even though I do feel Jesus in my heart. I never knew all the Ann Landers and Dear Abby background, so very interesting. You are a beautiful lady, love that green necklace. Great message today.
and another 🚩...if a Man does something that displeases you, hurts your feelings, or makes you mad, and you ask him to STOP.....and he keeps on doing it over and over...that Man does not love or respect you!!
I think there are different chapters in our book of life.When you are young you want a husband to support you and maybe have children.That was how we used to think.I have been on my own for a long time now,wish not to take care of a man.I am in a chapter where I take care of myself.Do what I want,all the time ha ha.
Sandra thank you so much for your videos and you are just a lovely person with a beautiful spirit and I know there's a lot of ladies that are in your position I am there I've been a little for quite a few years but you've just helped me to come out of my shell and I am a Christian but you really helped me just to be able to see some different things I'll be 81 in May so you know there's a lot of things you don't know about getting older either so and I'm always willing to learn but thank you so much for your videos they are so nice or spirit filled with the spirit God bless you
You have such cute, stylish clothes and jewelry, could you tell us where you get some of your outfits! Thank You! I trust in Jesus too! I pray all day and every night! God has have helped me through sooo many challenges! I am truly Blessed!! (Funny story, I met a retired dentist for lunch. Well, his teeth were not great and I walked by his dirty car. NEXT!! 😂😂😂)
I just love your words and prayers. I am a widow of 8 months.i find it very hard to go on without him,I am alone and ,I don’t think I want anyone else,I just feel like he can see me and I feel guilty,,is that normal? We were married 43 years.June 9th would be our 44th anniversary.it will be sad for me. I will keep looking at your videos and love your prayers,makes me feel loved by God.❤️
Yes, it is normal because you are still grieving. Don’t fill guilty because you haven’t done nothing wrong. It is a process. Everyone is different. It took me three years.
Your such a beautiful lady and don’t look your age. I wish I had one of those books that someone sent you. I could watch you for hours. Keep them coming and God Bless you
This is the first time I see your show I think you're a very lovely lady may God bless you I am little twice I had a boyfriend and he died I understand where you come from loneliness but like you say Jesus is our husband now just going to keep my spirit busy cuz there's always someone will stop them we are God bless you I'm glad I got to see you
Why get married?! It is too much work! A godly man who loves the Lord while being the spiritual leader of his home and laying his life down for his love is finding a needle in a haystack!
Just found you by coincidence, or maybe the Lord let me to you, I've been a widow for 13 years and have no intention to get involved it would be a mistake because I would be looking for the same qualities from my husband and I know I can't find that I'm good with that.
dont worry about negative comments we are all very different.....nobody really wants to go through life on their own. I love your hair..........tho..must say...mine is so thin now. x
If your husband treats you as good as his mom she will be resentful and jealous of you. And men like to pit women against each other because men love to feel fought over. my last husband made sure his mom did`nt want for anything but I couldn`t even get a birthday or anniversary gift out of him. She was married and living on 2 retirements so it was`nt that she needed help. He liked to treat me bad in front of her so she`d see I wasn`t that special like she was.The best husband is a motherless husband!
She's only been a widow for 3 months! I don't think she was talking about herself meeting a great guy, just the ladies that have been widowed for awhile & are ready for dating. And advice to be wise about who they go with. Come on!
Have you found your good guy? We didn't hear from you for a long time come to find out you say you met a guy, but left all of us wondering where were you? We want you to be happy, if this guy makes you happy, we are happy for you. No rushing, take time for you first. Now you are gone again. We love you, we want to hear from you, we enjoy your youtube.
I disagreed in some points one is find a man with skill education 🙄well so many narcissist integrated psychopaths is in a education skills job because it’s power and control so better find a man with good skill as a parent good education and patient to them kids. Also don’t be a choice, you choosing the man it’s metaphorical it’s some common quotes? What it’s mean. You should not let man choice you?? No sense. Another advice I really not analysed. It’s no for me! Person knows narcissist and psychopath personality never gonna put the education of you own kids in someone have skill in education it’s parents job. Not put in a new partner shoulders.
When you said, laugh at the same things, rang a bell. My husband laughed at things I thought were stupid, I laughed at completely at different kind of things. I didn't watch it because I'm looking for someone but I know people that are desperate to finding someone. I don't understand why some woman need a man in their lives.
Love your blouse.I decided no sex until we become good friends, could be lust rather than love, need time to decide what the heck is going on.play a form of hard to get.
I thought this was supposed to be encouraging to those who have lost their husbands. Not religious things.I already have a religion. I needed comfort from another widow. Please don’t turn into a u tube preacher
I think it was great her talking about how God loves us & about Jesus. Because sometimes when your feeling lonely, missing your husband so much your faith gets weak. She reminded me God loves me & I'm not alone. It was very comforting to me. Just let her be herself! Alot of us appreciate what she says about Jesus & sharing scriptures.
I know videos bashing and generalizing negatively about men get lots of views, but it's intellectually dishonest and extremely unbecoming. There are as many predatory and vile women out there as men. There are as many lovely men out there as women. Disappointing because bigotry is not Christlike. Plenty of channels of women doing these kinds of topics. What does it say about women? Sad stuff, imo.
@@maggiegray1698 Not denial at all. It's blatantly false that the sea of men is overwhelmingly "full of bad guys" while implying the sea of women is overwhelmingly righteous and good. Fact is, it's exactly this sort of negative stereotyping that leads men away from relationships and rightly so. It's akin to saying "believe all women." Intellectually dishonest, sexist and statistically false. Women lie all the time. Gender is NOT a precursor to goodness, humility, decency and virtue. Remember we fought AGAINST men who generalized negatively against us with falsely stereotypical statements. That we now do it to them is despicable. It's the last politically correct and completely accepted bigotry.
@@sammie4695 Well,Susan gave me food for thought and she's eloquent. Sandra isn't "bashing" men but she's giving dating advice with a real,practical component so that's good.
