This is what happened:
A young lad asked if we could please go and visit his Mom in frail care at the local hospice. We shot off there on route home from School. He shared that she had a severe bone cancer condition and had only days to live. She could hardly be moved as her bones had turned to chalk, and when she is lifted, her bones just snap. What a sad sight, just lying there looking at us. I mentioned we would love to pray with her, there was absolutely no resistance; she welcomed the offer, so we prayed. After praying, I asked her if she had given her life to Jesus. Her reply was an emphatic "No"
I was shocked, how could this be? Days away or even hours away from eternity, with destination unknown! She said she was a non-believer. My heart cried out for her. Praying in the Spirit, asking how can we get her to understand the consequences of her decision. After a short while I felt led to ask her if she would accept Jesus as her savior, she said YES!
We prayed, she followed us in prayer and gave her life completely over to Jesus, publically right there and then. Her son was jubilant. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT!
Tears rolled down those cheeks and ours. After some time, we said our goodbyes and left. The next day the young lad was not at school. I heard through his registration teacher that his Mom had passed away that night!
Wow
that was a close call, too close for comfort!!
Don't take a chance people, dying without Jesus is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute! Put your parachute on, put Jesus on, accept Him, accept what he did at the cross of Calvery, embrace him. Send an email to gavinstone8@live.com to share the great news. We will celebrate with you.
