Freeper Prayer request for my father, A.L. Head (Jeff's father has passed away)

Self | Jan 24, 2004 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

Many of you know of my father. He is a combat vet of World War II of the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO). Fomr time to time I have posted his articles have here on FR in the past and there have been several prayer threads for him due to his heart conditions, where the faith of others on his behalf, coupled with his own faith and the will of a loving Heavenly Father and the mercy of His son Jesus Christ, have worked miraculously on his behalf.

Now, he has suffered another heart attack...his kidneys are failing...his lungs are filling with fluid and fluid is collecting around his heart.

I was just called in the last hour by two of my brothers indicating I need to come immediately...that he may not survive the night.

So, myself and my family (wife and two boys at home) are heading down there now.

I will not be able to check this thread for potentially several days, but request your prayers on behalf of my father nonetheless.

I will call a couple of FReepers over the next couple of days and update them who can then update this thread.

I have faith in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ and in their will...whatever that may be. We of course pray and hope he is preserved yet again...but also know that if the Lord chooses to bring him home it is because he has a greater work for him there...and will then look forward to that day, in the bye and bye, when we are united again in the love and bosom of our Savior.

Thanks in advance...please also remember my terminally ill brother and my elderly mother in your prayers, who herself is not in good health and who is being emotuionally effected by this as you can imagine.

I thank you all my FReeper and American and liberty loving friend everywhere.

Sincerely,

Jeff

Do not go gentle into that good night [A Villanelle], by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

May your father be restored to health, if that's possible. But if it is his time, and God's will, may he have peace after his long and worthy life. And my you and yours have peace with what happens, for it is all part of His plan.

We of course pray and hope he is preserved yet again...

Dear Jeff, your father is in my prayers. I believe the Lord preserves His faithful forever, come what may in terms of the exigencies of [mere] human existence. So do not fear; be comforted by Him, as I'm sure He comforts your father. May His blessings be upon you all in this difficult time. God bless your father and all your family.

[snopercod]

This doesn't sound good, Jeff. You and your Dad are in my thoughts.

Hi, Jeff -- Sorry to hear this latest. I'll be keeping your father and you all in my prayers, for comfort and wellbeing.

[AAABEST]

May God bless you and your family Jeff, in this trying time.

Your dad is an accomplished man who raised a moral son who goes out of his way to help his neighbor (me being one of the "helpees") and trusts in God.

It doesn't get any better than that...does it?
