Gifts From the Porch Swing: Embracing Grace After Loss

Gifts From the Porch Swing: Embracing Grace After Loss

What do you do when facing loss upon loss in your life? After 30 years of ministering through music, Marji Stevens suffered an accident and lost her ability to sing. Just a few years later, a prolonged illness claimed the life of her husband, Bill, to whom she had been married for 40 years. She then spent the next seven years as caregiver to her 92-year-old mother-in-law, who continued living in the couple’s home. Marji learned how to process her grief and face her fears each morning when she met with the Lord on her porch swing. Now Marji shares those discoveries with you, gifts of grace she has learned to embrace on the journey through loss and grief. Through art illustration, Scripture verses, inspiration, and humor, Marji presents these lessons learned in her own life. Come sit, hear the truths that have penetrated her heart and soul. See how she has learned to relinquish the broken pieces of her heart into the hands of her Heavenly Father. And join her in watching Him gently work His miracles of hope and healing. Marji Stevens is a joyful exhorter, creative storyteller and engaging Bible teacher. A mother to two grown sons and grandmother of seven, Marji resides in a 200-year-old farmhouse in the rolling hills of western New York. Marji was married to Bill Stevens for 40 years until his passing in 2007. She shares her art, humor, children's books, and more at marjistevens.com, where she also offers Biblical truth and inspiration through her blog. Marji leads Embracing Grace Ministries and is the founder of Lives Overcoming Loss (L.O.L.).
