Welcome to the site; lots of fellowship here, I too lost my mother to cancer a while back and probabley the best thing that came through that experience, was that it helped me to understand Why theres no turning back the sentence pronounced on Satan and why OUR FATHER refers to him as Bastard,Through understanding OUR FATHER now if I were to get angry I would give it ALL to the one who deserves it Satan!
I have lost my earthly father to OPCD...(not sure if I have that in the right order)
it has been 5 years..and I miss him still..but he was suffering much..in the last few years..and we were happy to see him not suffer anymore..
it was painful to watch..and painful for him..to not be able to breathe and talk to us when we visited..
my father was a man who hated having others fuss over him..so it was very humbling for him to be so ..dependant on others...
my mother was with him through much of it..and I know he was grateful to have her undivided care..yet he felt bad about it..
I know my earthly father is with me in a much more spiritual way now..and i feel his prayers and guidance..for me..and I thank him for them..
My heavenly Father is his heavenly Father as well...and we both know who the "perfect" Father is..with
the gift of grace..incarnate in Jesus
I am grateful my earthly father is closer to OUR heavenly Father..
I feel my earthly father understands me better now..and knows what to pray for me..in a much clearer way..
(thankyou for allowing me to share this with you..)
