This time of the year is most special to me.
I have so much to be thankful for.
I have a tendency to forget how blessed I am.
Our Lord & Savior is a very loving & giving God.
He always provides when I need it.
But most of all He loves me very deeply.
This last weekend was no exception how He works
and shows His love to one of His little sheep who
didn't know Him yet.
It was Sunday morning and Rick [I will use his real name
because He did confess his love for Jesus at church] decided
he didn't want to live any more. He got a bed sheet, took it
to a spot where there would be NO one around to see him
or hear his cries for help if that should happen.
He hung himself off the bleachers at a ballpark across
the street for Jason's mothers home. [Jason & Jr. work
for Billy]. Rick didn't know that Jr. & Jason would be
outside early that morning having a smoke waiting for
the rest of the family to head to Portland shopping.
Jr. heard something, didn't know what it was at first.
"Help.....ME!" the voice cried......then again. Jr. & Jason
walked over to the ballpark, slow at first...as they weren't sure
what was going on, then Jr. saw Rick, they both raced into action.
Jr. told Rick, "Don't you worry, I won't let you go!".
911 was called, Rick was saved as Jason scurried up the
bleachers to release the knot.
Rick was taken to the hospital, police were called and the
state gets involved, so many things take place that I
have no clue about but
Rick was finally voted into the "Grace House". It is a home
for men who need some love and care after drugs etc.
God had a plan, Rick wasn't going to ruin it.
God used Jr. & Jason along with many other folks.
Rick excepted Jesus as his personal Savior and was
baptized on Saturday night.
Pastor Mike Wilson has told Billy that his mission work
is his business, I believe God is using him in that way.
Thank you Lord for Jr. & Jason, I pray that Jr. & his family will
find Jesus in all this.
Jesus' work isn't finished yet!!!
I am so blessed, I have a wonderful husband who I dearly love.
3 fantastic daughters, 3 great son-in-laws & 5 adorable, loving,
smart & beautiful grandchildren, not to forget about
all my other family & friends who I cherish.
Thank Lord for this wonderful holiday to remember
what is really important......YOU!
