As I read the paper to find Eloise`s obituary, I also read the lovely remembrance for Ruby Rowland. A total stranger to me; an 89 year old prayer warrior that was also called Home just one day after Eloise. I wonder if these two might cross paths as wait at Heaven`s Gates!
Little off tract, sorry I continued to read of Ruby`s life; she was devoted to God and husband of 26 years and 7 children, she worked as a missionary in Palmer, Alaska. With her husband, they founded and Pastored Bacon Hill Faith Tabernacle; she never ceased to pray anytime and anywhere for anyone. Always reading her Bible and praying on her knees.
It`s evident that Rudy followed the words of Jesus; "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself. I can only imagine the lives that Ruby must have touched in her 89 years on this side of Heaven.
As I have previously shared, for decades I walked through this life without turning to God, thinking that I was in total control. Did I have brain damage or ? Or did I just accept where I was, who I was, not knowing enough to miss what I never had? I invite you to ponder that one for a while.
God has given us free will that allows us to make choices, for better or for worst, it is our choices that determine the path that our lives and lives of our loved ones will take.
I Thank God for my wonderful friend Jim Mullen, that said just the right words at just the right time, that lead me to total surrender and into the loving arms of Jesus Christ our Savior.
As I continue this walk, I pray that I will fulfill God` purpose and that His light will shine in and through me to light the paths for those who have yet to receive His wonderful gifts!
1 Peter 2:9 You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Thank you God for loving me, just the way I am, just where I am, and for Jim Mullen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
