Freeper Prayer request for my father, A.L. Head (Jeff's father has passed away)
Self | Jan 24, 2004 | Jeff Head

Posted on 01/24/2004 2:22:05 PM PST by 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

Brother Jeff,
Your friendship and fellowship with us all over the past years has affirmed in our hearts that God saw fit to pass your dad's legacy on to you.

Our sorrow for your loss is buffered by the assurance of his salvation.

God be with you my friend as you grieve and heal and stand for the man and ideals your dad is.

Jeff, I'm so sorry for your loss, and that you didn't get to see him before he died. You didn't have much advance notice and you did your best to get there. May God comfort you, your mother, and your brother. May he give you the strength and guidance to help your mother and brother. Take care of them, and may the Lord take care of all of you.

I'm sorry, Jeff. We send you Isaiah 61:3.

Christ will...
comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

"Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say, Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today."

Jeff, just the ending of a great poem..but wanted to remember your Father in some small way.

Take care, Spectre and wife

Thanks for letting us know, Squantos. I'm so sorry Jeff didn't get there before his dad passed . But I'm sure his dad and family knew Jeff did all he could. He always does.

Keep and stay true to the faith until you both meet again.

And may the Lord bless you and your family as you honor your dear father as he moves on to his new and Eternal assignment.

I've put your names on the temple PR here in DC.

All the best to you and yours, Brother......

Prayers on the way!! There is no better comfort than the freeper prayer chain. When my father died, I found much needed comfort here. Stay strong. The Holy Spirit of God will be the "great comforter."
