Bible Note: Is your Dad a Catholic? If so don't worry too much...you would be surprised how many born again Christians there are in the Catholic church..Protestants would have you believe otherwise, however, don't. Just because someone doesn't want to discuss things with you doesn't mean he's not a Christian, he may just be too sick to be bothered at this point. You cannot imagine what cancer does to people...I've had cancer, and believe me I was REALLY fed up with prognosticators.. What I really needed was someone to show me the love of God...make me a bowl of soup, a cup of tea, sit with me quietly or read to me when I couldn't hold a book. Show the love of God, and pray....I have seen some of the most amazing things happen when we pray. I shall pray for peace for you, and a sign that your Dad knows the Lord. Take it easy, it's a very stressful time for everyone. Take care of yourself too. No one called you to change the world's thinking..just to improve your little corner..and you know where that is. Be well my brother, you are in my heart, and prayers. J |
