Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
'My husband and I were married for 50 years. I met him at a Catholic Club. He came in and I thought, "Isn’t he nice?" I didn’t go for a few weeks, and then there was a play, so I went to that. I was in the front row and he came and sat next me. He said, "I’ve been looking out for you." And that was that.
'You couldn’t have had a nicer person. You could trust him. He was a good man. He had that many jokes. He was a happy man, very content in his way. He was a real gentleman. There aren’t too many like that around now.
'When my husband was poorly a few years ago, he was taken into hospital in the evening. They were doing an operation. They rang me and said, ‘Come quickly, he’s really poorly.’ I was waiting for a taxi and when I got there it was too late. That was a great shock.
'There’s a verse in the Bible that says, ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God.’
'When you go through tough times like that, that verse is helpful. It reminded me that God is in charge. I do miss him. He was a saint to put up with me. But I’ve been given the strength to carry on.'
'Bu fy ngŵr a minnau'n briod am 50 mlynedd. Cyfarfûm ag ef mewn Clwb Catholig. Daeth i mewn a meddyliais, ‘Onid ydy o’n neis?’ Es i ddim am ychydig wythnosau, ac yna cynhaliwyd drama, felly es i’w gweld. Roeddwn i yn y rhes flaen ac fe ddaeth ac eistedd wrth fy ymyl. Meddai, ‘Dw i wedi bod yn edrych allan amdanat ti.’ A dyna oedd hynny.
'Ni allech fod wedi cael rhywun anwylach. Fe allech chi ymddiried ynddo. Roedd o’n ddyn da. Roedd ganddo gymaint o jôcs. Roedd yn ddyn hapus, yn fodlon iawn ei fyd. Roedd yn ŵr bonheddig go iawn. Nid oes llawer o’r rheini o gwmpas nawr.
'Pan oedd fy ngŵr yn wael ychydig flynyddoedd yn ôl, aed ag ef i'r ysbyty gyda'r nos. Cafodd lawdriniaeth. Fe wnaethon nhw fy ffonio a dweud, ‘Dewch ar frys, mae e’n wael iawn.’ Roeddwn yn aros am dacsi a phan gyrhaeddais yno roedd hi’n rhy hwyr. Roedd hynny'n sioc fawr.
'Mae adnod yn y Beibl sy’n dweud, ‘Yn y dechreuad yr oedd y Gair; yr oedd y Gair gyda Duw.’
'Pan ewch chi trwy gyfnodau anodd fel yna, mae'r adnod honno'n ddefnyddiol. Fe wnaeth fy atgoffa mai Duw sydd wrth y llyw. Rwy'n gweld ei eisiau. Roedd yn sant i roi i fyny gyda mi. Ond rydw i wedi cael y nerth i ddal ati.'
