Do you remember "Seiko & Six Cousins", the Feb. 24 post? At that time only 3 of the cousins--myself and my 2 sisters--knew the Lord Jesus, and we were praying the other 3 find His salvation. Will you pray fervently with us? Uncle Seiko, 101 years old, was hospitalized this past weekend, and the doctors are saying he doesn't have very long left.
I am sure he--and his wife, who knew the Lord Jesus also--want to live with their children in Glory. Would you pray with us that they not have to go alone?
My sister Joyce, who needed a haircut before leaving for her stateside furlough, used the opportunity to go to the hair salon of one of the girls, Masako, and have a good talk with her. It seems because of the years of seedsowing of her childhood years, she has a basic understanding of the person of God and actually prays to Him from time to time.
The three have gotten so far away from the sound of the Word tho'.
The apostle Paul said to Festus he wished that he were not "almost" but "altogether" like himself, except for his chains, that is. I so understood how he felt when he said that. I wished Masako didn't just pray somewhat to God but altogether entrusted her eternal soul to a living, loving God Who would care for her for eternity--for her and for her siblings too.
I finished coloring in 3 more pictures this weekend--don't you think it would be so much easier for God to work in the hearts of Masako, Mori, and Chieko; than it was for me to color in pictures of Eida, Peter, & Alabaster? Oh God, manifest to us your merciful redeeming power!
