Title: Smiles
Post by: Al Moak on November 15, 2005, 06:49:17 PM
We have a fellow who is a member of the church who needs our Father's special grace and mercy just now.  His occupation is gardener, and he has quite a number of clients scattered around the area (including us).  But just in the last few days and weeks he's had one to two-second blackouts.  He's on the epilepsy drug (Dilantin), but he was already on it, and the episodes occurred anyway.  They've taken away his driver's license, so he can't get around to his customers.  Besides, it would be dangerous for him to use power tools anyway.  Pray that Unemployment Insurance will come through for him immediately.  Pray for iniisight and wisdom on the part of the doctors that are looking into this.  Pray for courage for his dear wife and three young boys through all this.  Pray that God will teach us all just what He wants to teach us lthrough this.

His name is Smiles, which he got because some non-Christians couldn't understand why he smiled in the face of adversity all the time!

Thank you all for loving your brother Smiles in this way!  What a privilege it is to be used of God, through prayer, in the accomplishment of His blessed will!
