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

Prayers from Missouri.
To: Jeff Head
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that this beloved Dad has a heavenly home that awaits ... that he has walked with You and lived his faith before the world. Thank You that this family can rest in You, knowing that parting is for such a short time, but life with You is forever.
If it be Your will, Merciful Father, let him tarry until the family can gather ... may there be the sweetest fellowship in his presence. And if it be Your will, Merciful Father, touch him that He might have an extra measure of days.
Surround an anxious wife and mother with the comfort of Your presence, O God. Guard her health during this time of agony. Sustain Jeff's brother, who is so mindful of his own mortality. In the midst of the darkness of the hour, may Your love be poured out on each one. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
