Before I update you on the condition of my Dad, I'd like to take this time to thank you for all of your prayers and good thoughts. They've actually helped me through this difficult time, and I appreciate it.
My father passed away on April 14th, at 10:35a.m. His passing was peaceful, and although I'll always miss him, I'm relieved to know that he's no longer in pain, and that I'll see him again one day.
I also have two things to share with you. You know those little calendars you receive from the 700 Club, that quote Scriptures? Take a look at what April 3rd had to say:
Ezekiel 36:25 - I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
I was baptized the next afternoon.
Now, take a look at what April 4th had to say:
Revelation 1:18 - I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
My father passed away on this very date. I flipped the calendar to April 4th last night, and when I read that Scripture, I did experience an odd feeling. I wonder if Someone was trying to tell me that Dad was going to leave on that specific date.
Thoughts? Or are these just coincidences?
Thank you again, and may God bless you and yours.
