Kay , Thank you for sharing this about your father in-law. What great comfort for you and the family to know that he cried out to the Lord during his last moments. I remember once reading in the bible something about making it by the skin of your teeth. I wondered if that was what that meant. Thank you..

Janie,

I was praying last night for you and your loved ones, and your relationship with them.

A thought popped in my mind (Holy Spirit)........It was a flight attendant standing before the passengers, getting ready for take-off. She was telling them about emergency procedures if the oxygen masks dropped down. Janie, check this........she said, if travelling with children, grab a mask and put it on yourself first.......then put masks on your children. In other words, prepare yourself first, before you can adequately help your children.

 

So, I think the Lord was saying: Don't be concerned about your loved ones at this time......but get right with God first, then you can do anything, as He leads you. It's a matter of priorities.

Then He took me to Proverbs 31: 28a, " Her children rise up and call her blessed;"

Keep praying......and studying your Bible. Have you read the Book of John yet? Books of James, Galatians? They will help you.

 

Grace and Peace.

Richard , Thank you for praying for my family and me last night. And the thought that popped in your mind gives me something to think about and ponder on. Actually I think it may be what some of you christians call confirmation. I say his because this reminds me of a while back... I think it was LT telling me that I should think about my own salvation <------ not his exact words .. but I think he was saying the same thing. He was tlling me this when I was worrying much about my children. I think it was him.. I may be wrong. Thank you for telling me this.

Hi Janie, God bless you!

When I was younger, I told God I hated him. I'm not proud of that, but it kind of seems like a dream now. I'm a completely different person. Please don't give up on family. You just never know.

Love,

Mary

Thank you Mary O

 

What you said is a good reminder for me thank you. I  am ashamed to say I did a lot of ugly talk toward God myself. Thank you again.
