Hi DJ, I too will pray for your dad as well as yourself. There is no greater healer than prayer.

It's not easy watching loved ones suffer; it is my hiope that you keep seeking God and feel the love that is directed to you from this board.

We are with you,

In Christ,

Hello Brother,

I will pray for your family, I have been in this position with my Dad, Mom, sister & brother, none of whom left the hospital alive. My parents were aged, my brother & sister were children, I do not wish to be melodramatic but there are times when these things must and will happen. I know beyond a doubt that neither of my parents desired to be dependent on others for their day to day existence, the thought of being an invalid was pure horror to both. They were handicapped since early childhood but lived relatively normal lives before the advent of handicapped parking, affirmative action or any special considerations for the disabled. My point is that we all will face the day our mortal bodies fail us, we have not been promised anything more than that in this life. Our promise of hope is in the next age, with an incorruptable body never to be seperated from our loved ones ever again.

What I learned through these difficult times is that those who are passing away from us are not the ones to sympathize with, no, it is the survivors who hurt and mourn, it is we who can display the selfishness of not wanting to let go no matter what the circumstances entail, the person who lost their independence is sometimes not considered, their real wishes of little concern, most often the last thing they want is to be a burdon on the ones they love dearly.

I do not know the age of your Dad but I do hope and pray he makes a full recovery until the day of our Lord's return, no matter how old he is it does not dull the pain of seeing him in this state, I know from experience.

I pray you trust in Him who can make all things new.

Peace Brother,

Joe

Dear DJ,

Three years ago my dad (an athiest) died of cancer, and I freaked out because I thought he was going to hell!  Little did I know then that it was his time and God's will.

God created your dad for His purpose, and His will be done. The beginning, the end, and the boundaries for your father have been set long before he was even conceived.  God gave him to you for your time here in this age. I pray that you would enjoy every bit of time you have with him, and not worry, you have an ETERNAL FUTURE of LOVE with your dad to look forward to.  This life as we know it is just so temporary, thank God there is something better to hope for...

In His Love,
Marie

To my Bible Truths Forum Family,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers and the testimonies that I've read. You all ALWAYS come through and I thank God for you. Though I've never met any of you, I believe that I have greater fellowship with y'all more than ANY "church" I've ever belonged to.

I read some of the things that people have gone through, and really count myself blessed. It's just difficult, and what has me somewhat upset at God is that I've prayed for over 10 years for my Dad to be around to see his grandchildren, and that is a prayer that I've pretty much given up on now. My Dad used to constantly ask me how soon I am to getting a wife so that I could get him some grandkids, and I'd just tell him to hold on, that I'm praying and trusting God that he'll make it happen, but that concept came crashing down yesterday...actually, it pretty much came crashing down 4 months ago when I thought he was getting alzheimers.

He's slowly declining, and the surgery would be extremely risky, so we really don't know what to do. But God is faithful, I still believe that. I will definitely be pm'ing people who've given me the invitation. All of your testimonies have given me a boost, and let me know that this is just a cross that I have to bear. But thankfully, I won't have to bear it alone. Thank you all again and God bless you for you prayers and thoughts.

Love,

DJ

p.s. To Marie, I was alerted to your post as I was previewing mine. Wow, that is so true! For the longest, I've been trying to witness to my Dad and "get him saved." And since coming to know the truth, that is very much a burden lifted from me, and that is, I KNOW my Dad won't be suffering in ANY blinded christian's hell. I REJOICE over that, for truly I will not grieve as those who have no hope! God bless you, sister!
