Dear Leslie
What a surprise to see your message. Thank you so much for your comment, appreciate it so much.
As you can imagine dad was such a larger than life character that has left a huge hole in our lives! You mention the youtube videos of his testimony, very kindly filmed by Andy Brinkley of Revival Media who came and spent a wonderful day with us all.
These videos have touched so many lives, including unsaved folk in dad's family - even medical and care staff who cared for him!! Andy Brinkley too in doing this video has given us a wonderful family heirloom that we will treasure.
I look back with thanks and praise to the Lord for the time I had with him looking after him. Dad blest me so much, even one evening in tears praying over me and my family and blessing us.
My husband and I and our two adult children have inherited mam & dad's house and moved in this past month. Even my husband Shane says that he feels he has come home!
I am going to be writing out a full testimony of what happened when he took ill and passed away as we witnessed some stunning things of God.
I have been told that his funeral service was the 'happiest' ever witnessed, such celebration and victory.
After the hymn 'And can it be' an applause and shouts of praise went up the Lord, followed by 'How Great thou art' again more applause and praise.
At the close we sang 'You shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, there'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the field shall clap their hands' well - no one wanted to stop singing - it went on and on with folk clapping - laughing each time it coninued! It was just amazing and such an incredible testimony of victory to those unsaved present.
Thank you so much Leslie, the Lord bless you too.
