Got Prayer?
I come to you asking for a big favor. I am asking you for prayer. Not for me but for my grandmother. She is 97 years young and only has a couple of days left. She is in the Filmore Convelesant Hospital. Last week after her and I prayed we spoke about Jesus and she told me that she excepted Him as her Lord and Savior and she understood that it is through Jesus that we have salvation. Before she got sick she said a paper for Do Not Reseitate and only give comfort care. Somehow last week that paper got lost and I was tasked with finding it. I found it and then sat in the parking lot in my truck for 30 minutes with the hardest taks that the Lord had ever given me up to that point. Only to find out later that He would task me with an even more difficult task. I had to call Pastor Martin at Shepherd. After prayer and Martin explaining that it was not for me to decide about this form. This form was between my grandmother and God. So, I sucked it up and delivered the form. At that point all treatment care stopped and they change to just comfort care. That was last week. When I went to see her yesterday she was very happy to see me. She was sitting up in a wheel chair by the window. We talked for awhile and then she need to go to the restroom. The nurses helped her with that. They are the greatest and never get enough reconignition. Anyway, after my grandmother came back we talked about memories. Her dogs, her birds and family. Then, God tasked me with the hardest thing that I have ever been tasked with. We prayed again and then I let her know that it was ok to go and be with God in heaven. Grandpa had gone ahead to prepare a place for her. I told her that God would keep her in His arms. And that God would make sure that she was at peace. I also aksed her to tell my grandpa hello for me. My prayer is that I ask God to take my grandmother peacefully and that He doesn't let her suffer. I ask God to let my grandmother go to be with God, Jesus and my grandfather in Heaven. I know that one day I will see both my grandfather and grandmother in Heaven with God and Jesus. I thank God for the Integrity that He has placed in me as a man of God. I hurt and I am very happy all rolled into one. I hurt because my grandmother is dying and I am very happy because she will get to go and be with the Lord very soon.
