AWESOME!! Praise Report
Posted By Jacque on September 24, 2008
I have another post I have been wanting to post, but this is so awesome, I just have to post it.
Many of you remember a couple of years ago when I was worried about my Grandma who did not know the Lord and was SO sick, and I requested prayer for both of my grandparents’ salvation. Well, it has really been on my heart lately all the time.
Apparently, when Grandpa was in the hospital in June, he accepted Christ as his Saviour, but that “had prayed that prayer many times before”. That made us wonder if he really had meant the prayer, because he acted as if it was nothing.
We did go to see my Grandfather and Grandmother today, and I was thrilled when God used homeschooling and Amanda’s ‘educational future’ to spark a conversation about God’s will and plan for her life, which led to a lot of discussion, including the need we each have for a Saviour! I was SO THRILLED when I asked Grandpa if he was really sincere when he had prayed the prayer, even though he had told my dad he had said it many times before, and he said yes. I asked him a few more things, to clarify I understood him and he understood me, and he said he did realize his sinfulness and the need for a Saviour and had accepted Christ as His Saviour. and Grandma said yes too. I was glad I got to talk to them, because I have never been able to before. There were a lot of things Grandpa admitted he still was unsure of, as far as knowing what the Bible said, but I am SO HAPPY to know they have eternal life in heaven!

I am so very happy and thankful….wow…I know God has really been using the whole family as a witnessing tool for both of them. What a blessing to KNOW that they KNOW and believe…I talked to Grandpa yesterday and he seemed more upbeat than the last time I had heard how he was doing. I am continuing to pray God’s blessing on them I want so desperately to come up and see them; since I know their health has not been that good as of late. Salvation in the grand scheme of things is so much more important than all of that though….Thanks for your witness and love …wish I coulda been there in person to hear the wonderful news!
Love to all

Praise the Lord! What a lovely and wonderful praise! His grace is truly amazing!
Thank you for the comment, sweet of you to stop by. I’m really enjoying having my own site, and it was enjoyable to design. Yes, our new little dog is very cute and has a fun personality. He’s a “pretty good” guard dog, but when he is asleep nothing fazes him.
So, when he is awake, he is a very good watch dog (unless someone has food!)! lol!
It would be fun to be neighbors!
Blessings!
