My Prayer Life - Part 11 - "Surprise Blessing"

Part 11:

Our Jimmy came along as a sweet surprise to us and has been nothing but a blessing from the Lord all of his 14 years.

James Ross

His salvation experience came as no surprise to us as he had been asking questions. Talking about the Lord at our house was as common a thing as talking about Grandma or anyone else, so it was a natural thing. He was under conviction awhile before the Burton's left our church and Mildred (pastor's wife) prayed for him a lot. She said, "I just feel like Jimmy is going to accept the Lord just any time." But he was pretty young and I didn't want to press him.



Not long after the Burton's moved and Brother Ivaloy Bishop was our interim pastor, Jimmy went forward to accept Christ. Brother Bishop came out that afternoon to talk with him and ask him questions. He answered everything in a very satisfactory way. We praised the Lord that our last child had been born in the kingdom of God and praised His Name for such an abundant life He had given us. How could He love us so much?
