We know that Christ is the best, but they don't know that yet. I have to regularly remind myself that all things are possible through Christ.<br /><br />I will pray with you that prayer - to be a living example and for that person's salvation.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LynLynda R Young as Elle Cardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975442291393246148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256484819552878062.post-19350182414117140392010-08-22T02:04:30.437+10:002010-08-22T02:04:30.437+10:00I have someone VERY CLOSE to me who isn't a be...I have someone VERY CLOSE to me who isn't a believer.

Why we often pretend, I don't know. Honesty is far more valuable.<br /><br />Arlee, thanks for sharing that beautiful testiment about your father. Because we often look up to our parents they make important role models, just as we are examples to our children.

It made for some funny stories and fishing equipment that ended up in our storage shed. But he sure knew his Bible and he sure could preach. He should have been an evangelist. I hope I've set some kind of memorable example for my own kids that will keep them turning towards Jesus.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256484819552878062.post-1646879627228323272010-08-20T13:35:52.540+10:002010-08-20T13:35:52.540+10:00AMEN!!!
