RECEIVED THE PHONE CALL I WAS HOPING WOULD BE SOME YEARS AWAY YET.
THE NURSING CARE FACILITY WHERE MY DAD LIVES, IN KELOWNA, B.C. CALLED AT 4:30 PM TODAY, TO SAY MY DAD IS TAKING A DOWN TURN..... VOMITING AND A HIGH TEMPERATURE, AND AS THE NURSE PUT IT, "NOT DOING WELL."
I TOLD THEM TO MAKE HIM AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE; THEY AGREED THAT WAS THE BEST.
AT TWO MONTHS SHORT OF BEING 94..... WELL....YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW, I KNOW.
SO MY STOMACH IS IN KNOTS RIGHT NOW; MY MIND IS PREPARING FOR WHAT COULD BE HIS LAST DAYS IN THIS LIFE.
BEING AN ONLY CHILD, IT WILL FEEL VERY STRANGE FOR ME, IF MY DAD PASSES AWAY THIS COMING WEEK.
BUT I KNOW HE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SAY HE'S LIVED A "CHARMED" LIFE...... OH WHEN I THINK ABOUT HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY HE WROTE, INDEED HE DID HAVE A CHARMED LIFE FROM BEGINNING TO END.
I WILL POST UP HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY [UP TO HIS RETIREMENT YEARS] ON MY WEBSITE, WHEN DAD DOES SLEEP IN DEATH. BUT ONE VERY INTERESTING THING I WILL SHARE WITH YOU NOW. WHEN HE WAS A SMALL CHILD IN SOUTH WALES, A GYPSY LADY CAME TO HIS HOUSE. HIS MOTHER WAS KIND TO ANYONE. AS SHE TALKED TO THE GYPSY LADY WITH MY DAD HANGING ON TO HIS MOTHER'S LEG; THIS IS WHAT THE GYPSY LADY SAID TO HER, "YOUR SON WILL LIVE A LONG LIFE, BUT HE'LL HAVE STOMACH PROBLEMS."
WOW..... SHE WAS RIGHT ON THE BULLS-EYE!!
DAD HAD STOMACH PROBLEMS MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE TILL INTO HIS 70s.
DID THE SPIRIT OF GOD SPEAK TO THAT GYPSY LADY AND TELL HER THOSE TWO THING ABOUT THIS LITTLE BOY SHE WAS LOOKING AT? WAS IT JUST A GUESS ON HER PART? WAS IT JUST A LUCKY STRIKE?
THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM. I'M KINDA THINKING IT WAS THE FIRST ONE I MENTIONED.
SO NOW I LEAVE IT IN GOD'S HANDS CONCERNING MY DAD'S SITUATION AT PRESENT. AND IF THIS IS TO BE MY DAD'S LAST WEEK, I'LL SURE HAVE LOTS TO SAY ABOUT THIS VERY FINE WELSHMAN ON MY WEBSITE.
