This Tuesday, I am going visiting… I am going to visit an older gentleman, whom I haven't met yet, who also has ALS. A friend from church asked if I would visit him; he is the father of one of her friends. She felt, perhaps, my visit would help. Learning from all of you what support can do to lift the spirits; I said yes – of course - this is my opportunity to help a fellow traveler, to pay it forward.
He doesn’t believe in God and I’ve been told, is struggling with the disease and what it holds for him. I hope to share Christ with him. I hope he can see how God has worked in my life to give me strength and peace in facing the challenges that lie ahead. Through Him I hope he can find a similar peace
Evangelism is new to me. I’ve never done this before. In fact, until recently, I thought I would never do. “Not for me”, was my gut reaction whenever the subject came up. I was never comfortable with it, never felt qualified. I’m still not qualified; I know more but not enough yet, but I want to do it, now. Hopefully I will have enough to answer all of his questions.
Please pray for us, that our hearts will be open, that God will guide what I say.
Hi Dan, I dont keep up on my blog very well but wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading yours. Hope you and Kathy enjoy the washing of that CD and your hope be strengthened even more than it is because He truly is on the Throne and in control. God bless you mightily
