>>
>>A woman's daughter had asked the local minister
>>to come and pray with her mother.
>>When the minister arrived,
>>he found the woman lying in bed with her head
>>propped up on two pillows.
>>
>>An empty chair sat beside her bed.
>>The minister assumed that the woman
>>had been informed of his visit...
>>'I guess you were expecting me, he said.
>>
>>'No, who are you?' said the mother.
>>The minister told her his name and then remarked,
>>'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew
>> I was going to show up..'
>>
>>'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden woman
>>'Would you mind closing the door?'
>>Puzzled, the minister shut the door.
>>'I have never told anyone this,
>>not even my daughter,' said the woman.
>>
>>'But all of my life I have never
>>known how to pray.
>>At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,
>>but it went right over my head...'
>>
>>I abandoned any attempt at prayer,'
>>the old woman continued, '
>>until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,
>> ' Prayer is just a simple matter
>>of having a conversation with Jesus.
>>Here is what I suggest..
>>'Sit down in a chair;
>>place an empty chair in front of you,
>>and in faith see Jesus on the chair.
>>
>>It's not spooky because he promised,
>>'I will be with you always'..
>>'Then just speak to him in the same way
>>you're doing with me right now...'
>>
>>'So, I tried it and I've liked it so much
>>that I do it a couple of hours every day.
>>I'm careful though. If my daughter saw me talking
>>to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown
>>or send me off to the funny farm.'
>>
>>The minister was deeply moved by the story and
>>encouraged the old woman to continue on the journey.
>>Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil,
>>and returned to the church.
>>
>>Two nights later the daughter called
>>to tell the minister that her mama
>>had died that afternoon.
>>Did she die in peace?' he asked.
>>
>>Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,
>>she called me over to her bedside,
>>told me she loved me and kissed me on the cheek.
>>When I got back from the store an hour later,
>>I found her .
>>
>>But there was something strange about her death.
>>Apparently, just before Mom died,
>>she leaned over and rested her head on the chair
>>beside the bed. What do you make of that?'
>>
>>The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,
>>'I wish we could all go like that.'
>>
>>Just send this to four people or more,
>>and do not break this, please.
>>
>>Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
>>
>>I asked God for water, He gave me an ocean.*
>>I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.*
>>I asked God for a friend, He gave me all of YOU...
>>If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
>>Happy moments, praise God.
>>Difficult moments, seek God.
>>Quiet moments, worship God
>>Painful moments, trust God.
>>Every moment, thank God.
>>
