Anna's Place - a ministry for those who have experienced grief and loss

Friday

Quote to think about:

"I am convinced that God yearns to be known by us far more than we want to know him, and his great work in us is to increase our passion for knowing him until it is stronger than all other passions." Dr. Larry Crabb from his book Finding God

Lord I want to know You better. You have brought me near to Your heart through my sufferings. You are a man of sorrows and aquainted with grief. But You are also the joy of my salvation and in You I trust all the day long. Please, forgive me for the times I have doubted Your love. You are my faithful God, my Savior, and my friend. Your daughter - Susan

A message from Susan Kelly Skitt, blog owner and editor of Anna's Place

Why is this site called Anna's Place?

I feel a kinship to a woman who lived many years ago. Her name is Anna. The Bible says beginning in Luke 2:36, "Now there was one, Anna... She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years... and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day."

I got married to my highschool sweetheart, Gerald Alan Kelly, on September 7, 1985. We would have been married seven years but he died suddenly on June 30, 1992. Even though my life has taken a different path, like Anna of old, I seek to serve God with all my heart. One of the ways is through the share and prayer ministry of Anna's Place.
