GOD'S FORD ON THE GO<br />
By<br />
Luella Marsh <strong>Ford</strong><br />
WILL YOU PRAY FOR YOUR DAD?<br />
<strong>On</strong>ly a few days before my Dad's death, 1935, I was faced with a grim scene in a large kitchen<br />
where Dad was sitting on the edge of his bed. He was suffering from heart trouble and preferred the<br />
kitchen to the dim bedroom. <strong>The</strong> room was filled with relatives, neighbors and friends. In my<br />
backslidden condition not manifesting any graces of a Christian, I could hardly bear the sight of my<br />
Dad's suffering.<br />
In spite of my lack of heavenly contact, the Holy Spirit seemed to be close to my heart. Conscious<br />
of the fact that I was really in no spiritual position to pray for my Dad, I felt strangely directed, "Will<br />
you pray for your Dad?"<br />
I knelt by my chair (others stood) not caring what those in that kitchen would think. I told <strong>Go</strong>d,<br />
"I know you could heal Dad. If you don't heal him, you can get him ready to die."<br />
When I arose, tears were on my Dad's cheeks.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e relative chided, "Lue, you shouldn't have done that. You made him feel so bad."<br />
I answered, "That is what he needed to do."<br />
From talks I had with Dad previous to this time, I definitely have the assurance I'll see my dear<br />
Dad in heaven.<br />
