I also preached a sermon the next year on youth Sunday. Now when I look back on my life, I do not think I really understood what being a Christian all was about. Over the years I made so many mistakes and as time went by I became very confused. For example, I would go to a church and some of the church members would tell me things that I should not do and then later I would see them doing the same things that they told me not to do.
I did not know the Bible as I should, because I did not read it enough, so my life was full of mistakes. I blame nobody but myself, for not reading the Bible each day like I should have done. I remember the kids would tell their Mother that Daddy was listening to that preaching again. I would like to point out now, that during the years (1954-1988), I did not study the Bible, as I should and I should have died at least 5 times. During these 34 years, I did not realize that God was watching over me while different things were happening to me and I know now, that He allowed it to happen.
It was two weeks before February 12, 1988; I went to the hospital to have this test done, because I was losing a lot of blood. I remember this so well, because the orderly was about to take me to the room that they were going to perform this test in and you know, I did not even tell my wife that I Loved her. Even today, I feel very sad in my heart when I think about this. This was the turning point in my life, because as the orderly was pushing me down the hall, I screamed out in my heart, God please take care of me and you know what, He did, and the test was negative and I did not lose any more blood.
It would be good to remember, that when you are down and out with yourself and the world, you can scream out in your heart and call on God to help you.
I believe that you can pray or scream out in your heart and He (God) will answer you, because of what took place in my own life.
Now let me tell you about February 12, 1988 it was in the middle of the day, when all of a sudden these thoughts about what I was supposed to do, kept coming into my mind, one after the other. They were so strong that I just sat in my chair and did not move or do any work at all until it had finished. At this time in my life, I hated some members of my family and when God finished talking to me, I felt this hate lift off of my shoulders and go up in the air.
I followed the exact feelings that God had given me and my life changed completely.
I had an overwhelming urge to find a Bible and a friend let me use his until February 25, 1988, when he and his wife gave me a new King James Version. In the days ahead, I tried to devour as much of the Bible as I could. The more I read and studied the Bible, the more I wanted to help people by writing cards, letters of Encouragement and as many other type of cards that God inspired me to write.
It was in April 2001 when I saw a show on TV about the birth process that inspired me to write this little book. I want to wish you a good life and that God will bless you in the days ahead.
