I pray that in her last moments she called out to Jesus and passed into glory with Him. I believe we will be joyously surprised when we get to Heaven and see those who we wondered if they "made it". Only He knows what happens in the heart of someone like your friend in those last fleeting breaths.<br /><br />My uncle died suddenly several years ago and no one in the family thought he would turn to Jesus. But, at his funeral we learned from his housekeeper (who was a Christian!)that several weeks before his death she led him to the Lord!<br /><br />Oh the wonder of His love, mercy and grace!!!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769884556887226680.post-11332435456725664352012-05-25T07:51:28.055-07:002012-05-25T07:51:28.055-07:00My oldest son has done likewise.

He often teaches there, as well.<br /><br />This I know: His conversion was genuine. I see this as a detour which God will use somehow, someway, someday to glorify His own name. In the meantime, son & I have some VERY interesting dialogues, agreeing to disagree.Kathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769884556887226680.post-43028997520886372492012-05-25T04:56:01.266-07:002012-05-25T04:56:01.266-07:00I love what Mevely said.

Yes, at least 2 sisters and their kids have turned away from the Lord b/c He didn't do what they thought He would. The addictions and the other battles won them back. I truly hope the day will come when His Truth will break through their barriers.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769884556887226680.post-66138935841483385342012-05-24T03:55:22.598-07:002012-05-24T03:55:22.598-07:00So sorry for your loss sweet friend.
