This is the absolute BEST.... - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Liz Registered: 2005-04-19 Posts: 2664 Loc: Texas	Some of you know that one of my uncles (in real life) is dying of cancer. He has never been a "religious" type of person and has never gone to church, except for weddings and funerals. So my mom (his sister) was talking to him the other day and at the end of the conversation he asks her to pray for him. This weighed heavily on my mom's heart, and she wondered if maybe he would be open to listening about the love of Jesus. So the next day she called him up and carefully broached the subject. He desperately wanted to hear everything she had to say, at the end of the conversation he asked Jesus to forgive him of all his sins and asked Jesus to come into his heart--my mom led him in prayer. We are still bummed because he is dying, we are feeling sorry for ourselves because we won't have him around, but now we all have hope that we will see him again. Mom said she is sad and happy at the same time, but she is more happy than sad right now. How wonderful is that???? _________________________ For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?

I did the same for my mother-in-law on her death-bed from cancer. She confessed Jesus on her death-bed before she breathed her last. She was never known for being religious either.
