A True Story

As many of you know, I have been on the sick list for quite a while, My worst day happened Sunday when my whole family, all except those who live in New Mexico, decided to celebrate my grand daughter, Sarah’s, 17th birthday at my house. I haven’t been outdoors except to go to the doctor for about five weeks. I didn’t celebrate very much though. I felt awful the whole day!

When the celebration was over, I went to bed. Somewhere in the middle of the night I found myself in the bathroom, I don’t remember how I got there but I was afraid I would fall. I put one hand on the cabinet and the other on a door. I said, “I don’t want to fall. I don’t want another stroke!” I kept saying that over and over. I don’t know whether I heard something, but I looked over toward the door and I saw Mom and Dad standing there. They, of course, died several years ago. Mom was wearing a long, white dress. I couldn’t see what Dad was wearing because he was standing behind Mom. They said “Come with us, come with us” over and over. I said, “No, I don’t want to fall and I don’t want another stroke.” I didn’t seem at all surprised that they were there! Soon, Mom and Dad left.

The next thing I remembered was that I was sitting up in bed. I, finally, went back to sleep. In the morning, the first thing I discovered was my dizziness was gone! I stood up and walked a few steps and there was no pain at all! I had broken ribs, terrible pain in my back, pain in my legs, plus I was always dizzy, What do you think? I think God came to visit with my Mom and Dad! I have half expected the pain to come back for two days, but I am amazed, not only to think God cares this much for me, but that my pain is all gone!

Where Have All The Christians Gone?

Those opposed to everything are here, the people who are throwing stones at store windows and take what they want inside! Others are busy burning our American flag or setting fire to automobiles. They are carrying home made posters saying all kinds of things and they scream out pornographic words. They seem to do this in most of our American cities. Why? If folks ask them why they are doing what they are doing, most of them say: “The Professors let us out of class,” or “Who wouldn’t do this? I’m paid pretty good.” Most of them say, “I don’t like Trump.” I believe they are organized by some American haters who seem willing to use their wealth in this way.

Most of the rest of the folks are Christians, or they are good Americans, but where are they? We, and I put myself in that category, would never throw stones at store windows burn the American flag, set fire to automobiles or scream out pornographic words. Shouldn’t we do something? We could be organized by someone who is greater than the whole bunch of protesters and that is God. The Bible tells us that he has whittled down armies of men to less than 300, in order to fight big armies.

Now, I don’t think we should go out and fight those protesters. Even though we would be a much larger army, we wouldn’t want a civil war on our hands, would we? We should all be praying for America and ask God for guidance as to what we should do. Let’s stand up for the things that are right and get down on our knees and pray, right away. there is no time to lose!
