How satan almost….
almost….
almost….
Kept my Mom from going to the alter on March 17,1958
Olive Chapel Church, Schooler Rd. 1/4 mile from our home…
The point came at the end of the service….
The Holy Spirit was drawing Marilyn Conrad to HIMSELF…
and satan….
was trying one of his best ” trump cards ”
“self..flesh..comparison”
to keep my Mom from accepting JESUS CHRIST as HER SAVIOR.
She would tell me over the years of how satan would use:
you are TOO FAT to walk up that aisle…..
his voice sounds so much like our own….
his thots creep into our minds in that same thread….
he used that over and over in my Mom’s life…..
* as he has done so much in mine !
Comparison….
What others think….
Fear of people….
over FEARING GOD !
I AM SO GRATEFUL….that the HOLY SPIRIT….
Breathed ~ STRENGTH, COURAGE, and FAITH
into my Mom that day….
as HER FIRST STEP to the alter….
was the step that our family would follow…..
What is in many many many prayers of mine today ?
Thank YOU JESUS for my Mom’s SALVATION….
THANK YOU JESUS….for my Mom’s SALVATION…..
March 17 is more than for the IRISH, to me….
It has always been ~ ” My Mom’s SPIRITUAL BIRTHday ”
Green ?
more LIKE GOLD !
Gold indeed…and I bet there is a lot of gold in her crown she’s got in heaven right now! Mom and I were talking about this post earlier tonight. What a special day to remember an amazing day of a wonderful lady’s life. Mom never comments, but that doesn’t mean she’s not reading. 🙂 and she most certainly is praying!
Love ya!
