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

Agreeing in prayer for healing, for the Lord's will,
and for peace in this situation. - My daddy was a
soldier in Italy, N. Africa & Germany during WWII. He
passed away a little over a year and a half ago. - The
WWII veterans are SO tough, but they are getting away
from here in alarming numbers. The WWII memorial is being
dedicated this year, and I hope as many as possible are
alive to see it. God bless you and give you strength.

May the good lord hold your family close to his heart and bless you all. I pray for your father, in thanks for his having served our country, and in request that the lord see him through his heart attack. Prayers to God for your mother, may he comfort her and give her strength, and for your terminally ill brother. And, prayers for strength and comfort for you; they all need you now, more than ever. And God will see you through as long as you look to Him. By the way, you have the best people on your side with you FRiends!

I will pray for you and yours, Jeff.

Though it's been so long, I never forget the loss of my own father. You never realize how much you miss him until you want his advice or counsel, and he's not there.

My best to you, Jeff, be strong.
