grandma

[Jessie]

please pray for her to listen to God.

I had this feeling to call her all week could'nt shake it and it was really bugging me. so we did. (as most of you remember I was avoiding them).
how bad is she? well, good question, as she embelishes a lot.
so about the time I figure shes doing that again I wont listen.
when something is wrong. (although I dont speak with her unless I feel led too, this last one I could'nt tell)

apperently the drs say nothing more they can do for her,
she has a lot of iron in her marrow and its causing a lot of body pain.
she is on oxegen which she has been for a long time.

but seriously I would think that when one is on the verge of death.
shes 91. health is going downhill, one would start getting things in order spiritually. you know making things right best one can.

I see NONE of it.
a lot of talk about how and what shes doing for the Lord.
figures shes still here so she can pray for people there.


I dont think shes saved at all.
of course I could be wrong, God is the judge.

but no fear at all....no double checking to make sure

:scratch:

when grandpa passed. there was a gentle peace.
a dependence on God.
I would think there would be some serious introspection.

and please pray for me to let it go I've asked the Lord, now I need to accept HIS decision in the matter and not pester him.

I will pray for your grandma and for you Jessie. Only time will let certain things go. Your grandma makes her own decision in her own will. Some just never seem to come to see Jesus the way God shows us in the bible. Some like to imagine something different and it is sad. I think some people are just so stubborn! It says some where in the bible that if we let our hearts harden He will only harden them more. I wish I knew where that scripture was; maybe someone else here does....

I know what your going through wondering if she is saved or not. I am going through the same thing with my grandpa. But we will never quite know so with that we can put the peace in knowing Gods judgment is just. Lets just let it go and let Him take care of it.

I myself have also used this situation to remind myself time and time again to God of how thankful I am that He grabbed my attention and pointed me to the Truth and here I am filled with more life than I have ever been before. I just wish those around us would listen and let us share; they could be full of life too; it is very easy to do this with children and very difficult to do this with adults.

Another reason why I think Jesus told us to humble ourselves like children and to listen not just to hear and to shake the dust off our boots and move on.

See that is why I am so confused as to how could a person read the bible and not take it for truth. Everything in the bible intertwines within itself and becomes one book covering all aspects and problems of life. Not one thing is left out and not one thing has any error. That is why it is Gods Word; not just a book. If men supposably wrote the book ( God only worked through man) ; with their own words and understanding (like some like to think to deny its truth) that it would have to be written and revised, written and revised and still not be perfect or cover all in life; all, that burdens a man. Only one who is perfect could of wrote it and I don't understand how anyone could deny; but they still do.

So because of these boggling thoughts we should just let it go and pray for them. Gods is calling them and they ignore it; nothing we can do and beyond our control.

I also don't think God thinks or anyone else here thinks your requests are being a pest. We need to pray for each other and God wants us to come to Him with our hearts; not something thats rehearsed with no heart in it. Being here of the earth is painful. With God leading us we can get through this and we are here for each other in this family for each others needs as well.:hug: I don't think we can possibly comprehend how much God truly loves us; all of us.

that was really good words.

thank you! :hug:
