I'm going to share this with you because He, my wife's Grandfather is no longer here to do it himself, He passed away this past Monday morning and I honestly believe He would want others to hear it but bare with me. This is hard for me to do.
Papaw had been in poor health for many years now. He had been on dialysis 3 days a week for around 4 years and both His lungs and heart were not in the best of shape. All those years in the coal mines really took a toll on His body, but He never complained. He still went to church nearly every Sunday and even though one of His dialysis treatments was on Wednesdays, no mater how tired He was, He still tried go that same night when He had the strength. Over the last month or so His health had gotten worse and the doctors thought He had pneumonia so He was admitted into the hospital in Kingsport TN three weeks ago. He was there for a week when He had His first stroke. His stroke was bad enough that it impaired His speech to the point that no one could understand what He was saying. What caused his stroke was this. He had bleeding on the brain that had gone unnoticed up until then and basically, because of His sever coiffing, something basically broke lose and caused the stroke. That next day, His pastor went to the hospital to see Him and with both Papaws son and daughter by His side, they prayed for Papaw. I unfortunately was not there to see what happened next (I was told about by all who were) but I want you to know that, even though no one could understand Him when He spoke to them, When they were all around him praying for him, the Holy Ghost moved on Him and He prayed just as clear as He ever has! He told everyone that, praise God, He had been healed and was ready to go home when the Lord called him. He prayed over and over that night, thanking God for what He had been given, for all He had and I want you all to know. When ever someone walked into His room from then on. The first words out of His mouth were, are you saved?
He called His wife of 62 years that next morning and spoke to Her with a joy in His voice (and just as crystal clear as could be) that we had never heard. He had been on oxygen for many years and that morning, He told the doctors. I don
