A mother's parting gift (personal)
Published: Thu, 09/14/17
Replying to the email I sent entitled
"I was thinking of you today" a subscriber sent
this touching email a few hours ago.
===
I got introduced to you via your book Prayer Cookbook for Busy People
by my mother last year. A devout Christian in the Methodist Church.
I was going through a rough time in my life and at the beginning of the year,
I had surrendered my life to Christ Jesus and became born again.
Around June, my mother gave me your book but I never read it.
She said to me, "This is my gift to you. May the prayers in here
guide you on your path." In December, she passed away without a
single ailment and we buried her on Christmas Eve.
The one instruction she gave me was to never stop praying for
everything I want in life...

What a precious mother!
She left him a priceless legacy --
worth more than a million dollars.
Truly something of eternal value.
The rest of his email is full of testimonies.
Here's one:
===
My fiance wanted to break off our engagement for reasons unknown to me.
That was when I got nervous and I sought you out. It was June. Remember?
I asked you to pray for our relationship and marriage. Instead what you did,
you sent me prayer points for me to take and pray on my own. At first
I was confused and disheartened. Then a few days later, I went through the
cookbook and found prayers to restore relationships and marriages.
I adapted them to my current situation and on the first night,
I got my answer. Boom!!!! Just like that.

Praise the LORD.
What his mother gave him reminds me of Apostle Peter's
"gift" to the lame man at the Beatiful Gate:
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as
I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk. - Acts 3:6
Which brings up the question:
What legacy will you leave for your children?
The latest smartphone?
Money and houses?
Riches of this world?
OR ... something of eternal value?
... that will help them to fight the good fight
of faith and WIN... on God's terms and nothing else.
Think about it.
