Keyser´s influence

I have been at this spot too many times in my life. Starting with our first child who passed away then followed by our next 2 children dying also.

When we adopted Tony and then Chad we were so blessed. Miraculously God soon gave us Elizabeth, Tanya, Becky and Crissy but He wasn´t through with us here.  In Guatemala He gave us Orlando and Michelle.

And even with all the love they provide to Dottie and me we suffer so deeply when one of our Guatemalan children passes away. Keyser and Eduardo both died within the last 5 months making it more than 40 children whom we have buried. As much as it hurts, I am the most blessed man you will ever meet. So, I pray right now. “Lord, give me more Keysers.”

Arolod told the other dialysis children about Keyser so there was much silence as I am sure they were contemplating what was happening.

Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old things will pass away and everything will be new”.

Look what God did with Joshua. Joshua was given three instructions. In Joshua chapters 2-5 he is told to get the people out of the desert. In chapters 6-12 he was to destroy the enemies of the Israelites and in chapters 13-22 he is told that he has inherited the promises given to Abraham. Those steps have never changed as God raises up leaders, uses them and then replaces them as His will is being fulfilled. God does not give us a gift. He gives us Himself.

Two 10 year old girls came to Dottie´s bedside and prayed powerful prayers that I know touched the heart of God.
