I will be praying for both you and Don.
The old adage, from a hymn no less is “God can do anything but fail.”
My dear departed Father-in-Law, who was also my Pastor, was very fond of saying that when you pray, believe God. Believe He has heard your prayer, but more importantly, believe He is answering your prayer.
We are praying for the soul of a dying man. There is no more Holy prayer than that. God is listening and God is answering.
Lets believe God together for Don!
What you said bears repeating.
What a sacred honor it was for me to be there when my Sweet Hubby went home. What a comfort to know that after the last breathe on earth, the next breathe is in the presence of the One who knows and loves us best. Yes, thank God, Jesus is our champion.
