my brother-in-law

My sister's husband just had a massive heart attack. . .at this point in time she doesn't even know if he is dead or alive. Please pray for her as she is frantic. Both are unsaved. He had CPR for 20 minutes with no response. I'll keep you posted.

Carmela, I am so sorry to hear this.

Father, I come to you and ask that you let Carmela know that she should not feel guilty and that you have always given and continue to give us all chances. I pray for this sister of Carmela's that through this she may be drawn close to you and I ask that you comfort this family at this time. In Jesus mighty and powerful name, Amen!

Thank you dear brothers and sisters. .I truly love you all :) I am in Maryland but will be heading home today. Above all, I'm praying for my sister, Candy, to find the Lord in all this. She thinks that she knows Him through her Baha'i' faith so she needs to see the Truth Himself. She is going to have alot on her platter because her husband died at the very beginning of maple syrup making. . he collapsed in the sap house. . . Not sure if there is anyone who is willing to take that over for this year which is really just the month of March, but it's a very difficult process babysitting the boiling sap. Then he had 20 plus foxes that he was raising and she'll have to deal with them top priority. . .can't just turn them loose like she threatened to more than once, haha! One day at a time. . .as she told me last night, "it will all settle out".

Praying for you and your sister. The things left to do after can be frustrating...May the Lord use this time to show her the truth.

Hi Carmella this is Robbie here. We have not yet spoken at this forum. But please let me tell you that I am very understanding about these things..

Let me be candid about this. When a person I know that dies, sometimes it won't get to me at first. I will be in a state of denial. As though wishing it did not happen. But believe me when the time sets in I really break down big time Crying and all. The Lord knows that sometimes we have such a hard time dealing with this. And in your case someone unsaved..

We wish then we could have said something to them that would have got them to be saved. For example Andrew Koenig Richard tbone Mike Seavers good friend aka Kirk Cameron in Real life just committed suicide. Kirk Cameron I like as a speaker. But the sad news is this. His friend Andrew Koenig was going through depression over the years. He supposedly went on a trip to Canada and then a big search was done from him. Not only from police but others who knew him. Someone found him on a 1000 acre of park land.. Why could not Kirk Cameron get to this guy before? And to tell you honestly I am not sure. But they must have been living different lives. Probably not in touch anymore perhaps.

If Andrew would have been saved I would have felt some relief but because he is not it hurts me his death. So what if he was not the main star on the show. Friends lets have compassion Andrew Koenig is a human like us who needed a savoir like us. Who was depressed like I also go though too. . No, No No I says. But those no's won’t do any good. Can’t bring him back.

Carmella the Lord says in The Beatitudes. Blessed are the Mourn for they will be comforted. Carmella I hope The Lord will help you in these times. Not even just with this but your whole life in General to watch over you. I sympathize to you The Lord is so Loving He has count your every tear you have shed. The Lord is there with you both in good and bad times. It is going to take time to get over this Grieving. Knowing He is not saved I know this hurts you bad. I’ve gone through this also. this is like my brother Kenny who killed himself who was also not saved. I keep wishing this day I knew then what I knew now to tell my brother that he may be saved. But it is too late. Even today I hurt because of this.

Robbie. . .thank you for that. I just don't have words. . . . my brain is having a really hard time catching up to the reality of this man being gone. Even tho he made my life difficult, to say the least, he was a huge presence and did everything for us from plowing the snow to digging a grave in our family cemetery to fixing our water pump to tuning up our 4 wheelers. His death has created a huge void in countless lives.
