For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Bro. Gene is still having problems with his eyes. He asked that I thank you for all the prayers you have prayed for his eyesight and he also asked for your continued prayers. His eyes are healing but not as quickly as he would like. He has started on a stronger steroid eye drop medication which causes great discomfort when being administered. Please continue to pray for complete healing of his eyes so he can continue to read the Word of God and preach the Gospel.
I just finished watching Billy Graham’s funeral. It was beautiful. His children talked about what a man of God he was. Franklin said that the Billy Graham we saw in the pulpit was the same Billy Graham they saw at home. Ann, his daughter, promised her dad she would continue to preach the Gospel. Ruth, another daughter, told of how she had not listened to her families’ advice and married a man whom they didn’t approve. She said as she was driving home after leaving this man, she was wondering how the family would accept her. Would they be disappointed in her? She said as she drove up the drive Billy was standing there. He met her, hugged her and told her, “Welcome home.” Ruth said he gave her unconditional love. Ann also said after Billy’s health failed, she would read the Bible to him. Billy Graham loved the Word of God. He believed it, preached it, and lived by it.
Dear God,
Help us to be a better servant for you. Help us to get our hearts right. Help us to have pure hearts. Give us the desire to live according to your standards for our lives. Give us the strength and courage to stand up for our Christian beliefs and to be a positive witness for Christ. Burden our hearts for the lost. May we never pass up an opportunity to tell the gospel to those who need You as Lord and Savior. And thank You for sending Billy Graham into the world during our lifetime. It is amazing to see how much You used him to spread the Gospel around the world. In Jesus name. Amen
Ann
