Result of Prayer!

[CarlA]

I'm a drunk. Sober since 1989. Saved in 1985.

I have two children. My wife and I were not married when we had them. I was not raised in a Christian home, but my parents were old school, and believed that marriage was permanent. After I sobered up thanks to AA we split up. That lasted from 1991 thru 2002. I can't find the documentation now cause we have stuff all put away for move. BUT somewhere in the later 90s my son and I agreed to pray a prayer from the Bible for mom every day for a month. We did this for the agreed month and then quit praying after that. Meanwhile mom would go out with the pastor's wife once in a while. One day they came back and parked in the driveway. The Pastor's wife started talking to mom and praying for her. Shortly after our prayers and her talking with the pastor's wife, my wife gave her heart to Jesus!! We were married shortly after that. And were husband and wife until she went to be with the Lord in April 2022 while I was reading to her from the Bible.

Thank You Jesus.

What a beautiful testimony, Carl! God truly answers the prayers of His children. I am so sorry to hear that your wife passed on in 2022. The last time we spoke (in fact the last time we saw each other) she was still alive. What a comfort in the midst of grief, though, to know where she is and the joy she is experiencing, and that in God's timing you will be joining her. In the meantime, He clearly has a purpose for you. Being open to being used by Him will bless you beyond measure, my brother.

And I am firmly getting to the point that our personal TESTIMONY is one of our really valuable witnessing tools.

CarlA, did your wife pass from bladder cancer?

I'm wondering if you're the same Carl from another forum.

In fact it is our most valuable tool, Carl. It is our testimony that gives evidence to the truth of the Gospel.

Yes I am Carl from Rapture Forum. It was my wife that died from bladder cancer in April 2022.
