Answer to Prayer but Still Sad
Today a great man passed away. My Step Dad. As you have read in my previous blogs he has been sick. We have been waiting for this to happen. I believe in my heart that he was saved, and God gave us that opportunity. Amen. Today Gary woke up in pain with over 105 degree temperature. The Nurses gave him more meds to comfort him. My mom and my aunt were in the room alone with him and my aunt, being a christian, said lets pray. They prayed to God that he would please take him, that it was so hard and knew it was his time. So my aunt had left and my mom went outside and prayed by herself and said God please take him…. Without them knowing, today at 4pm, i was praying to God and I said ” TAKE HIM GOD, IF THIS IS YOU WILL FOR HIM TO DIE, TAKE HIM TODAY, OR ELSE I WILL GO AND PRAY FOR HEALING” i wrote in caps to show i was not just talking, but yelling…raising my voice to God. When my mom had gone back in she was sitting there, and he slightly opened his eyes, and in my moms words; ” it was like he was looking at people saying here I come” and then he shut them and died…. I thank Jesus for his answer, but am still grieving at the loss of a great husband and father.
Hey Buddy,
Things like “He’s in a better place” can seem so generic. But it really is true. And I really think your heart was right. We believe God can and does heal but if it was Gary’s time. He is free from that pain now.
