He answered my prayer concerning my dad. It was my birthday the other day and my dad called me and told me Happy Birthday. It was the first time he has ever told me that in my entire life. It was pretty excting.

When I got saved at the age of fifteen, I was so excited to get home and tell my parents how God saved me from my sins.
My parents who believed in God, but were not born again do not have the same enthusiasm as I did. They didn't want to hear about the most wonderful thing that ever happened in my life and I was crushed.
Thoughout the years, I prayed for them that they would get saved.
And God answered my prayers. My mother who is now with the Lord turned her life to Jesus and got very involved in the church.
My dad at times listened to me, and even said the sinners prayer, yet his heart was not in it.
He has been having health problems and at this moment, his heart is only 35% functional. And chances are, there is not much they can do for him.
Yesterday, me and my wife went up to his home. I put on a chicken for dinner and while it was cooking, we had church.
And for the first time, I believe he heard the Word of God. I preached the Word and at the end, I asked that we all say the sinners prayer. I believe he accepted Jesus. I seen tears in his eyes and he now knows that if he dies, he will go to be with the Lord in paradise.
Praise God. My prayers were answered. Thank you Lord.

hmm,jesus died at the cross for us!!
but God works in mysterious ways,that we don't understand most of them!
there are many times that i was saved from harm,and i thank god for that!who's to tell that god didn't put his hand in it?
i believe in god,and i love all his creations,go look at a mountain,do you see the beauty that god made it be?
or a valley full of flowers?is there anything more beautiful than that?
ever see how a mother cat takes care of her young?
if we all loved god and followed his commandments,this world would be an even more beautiful place!
so i believe that god gave me,goodness,kindness and happiness!
yes,i know we have problems,some people are sick,some are poor,and many other things,but he made a promise to us that he will do away with all these things
"and god will wipe out every tear from their eye,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore
the former things have passed away"
i love this passage and remember it,when i think that i can take no more,and hope fills my heart again!
[i didn't want this to sound like a lecture,it just comes from my heart]

"Besides the whole dying on the cross, being buried and rising again thing?"
Does He need to do more? Have I done something to obligate Him to serve me?
Despite this, He has done quite a bit for me. I have been blessed in many ways recently.

don't think that I have enough time or room to say however here are just a few;
1- gave me my next breath to breathe
2- Gives me grace to endure a chronic pain disease
3- Encourages my heart, even when no person does
4- speaks to me when I stop to listen- (you will probably call me crazy) - He speaks to me through His Word, and through prayer
5- provides for me when it seems I am down to my last dollar- (my husband is permanently disabled- and out of work)
6- He gives me joy even when I feel like crying
7- He forgives and forgives
8- He is faithful to me and my family
I could go on and on- God is waiting for you to come to Him, through Christ, and you too will be able to share what Christ has done for you.
THE BIGGEST THING THAT HE HAS DONE, IS SAVE ME. I CAN LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED ME.

God has let me see another day and has given me the opportunity to see all his works. Even tho we live in a world of greed, hatred, and materialistic things, he's blessed me enough so that i could sit on this very computer RIGHT NOW and tell you of how good he's been to me!

God has done everything for me.
He provides for me, He blesses me, and He keeps me going everyday. He has done so many things for me that I can't even count them.
