In my post with subject line Some Personal Thoughts, I mentioned
grandsons who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs. In all
fairness, I must say that 3 of the 5 are doing well, working and
raising their children. Sad to say, though, that one has 4 babies,
and is now serving time in Federal prison for some crime. I'm not
sure what, but perhaps had to do with drugs and also illegal gun
possession. The 5th grandson went downhill bad, and his mom is
raising his 7-year-old daughter. However, the Lord worked it out so
that he is now living with his mom and exposed to the gospel, the
bible and church once again. Their pastor is not much older than he
(Jeremy), has been through some of the sins that Jeremy has, and has
befriended Jeremy, in the church and out of it.
That's the background. I have 6 granddaughters, 5 of whom know and
love the Lord. I learned yesterday that number 6 who does not
(Sarah), along with Jeremy and his sister Amanda (who does know and
love the Lord) have been chatting on My Space with 2 other
granddaughters who love the Lord. I understand that Jeremy is asking
many questions about spiritual matters, which Amanda, Maija and
Sylvija can answer. I pray that these cousins will continue their
close relationship, and that Jeremy and Sarah will submit their lives
to our Lord Jesus Christ.
One more thing and then I'll quit this. When Jeremy was 8 years old,
he was at church with me and his mom, and when the altar call was
given, he got off the seat and knelt on the floor facing the seat,
with his hands folded in prayer, and asked Jesus to be his
Saviour. I knelt beside him. That is a sweet memory for me, and to
know that God is not slack in fulfilling His promises, Jeremy will
come back to Him now.
Just needed to share all that with you..........
In Jesus' Love, with grateful heart
Helen
