Lessons

     Richard tried to work hard all of his life.  He remembered the many words of advice from his own father.  "Happiness is found in the best things that you can provide for yourself and your family."  His father used to tell him.

   This became even more crucial when he got married just five years ago.  He then became a young father just a year ago.  His father had provided a big beautiful house, and many of the luxuries of life.

   But, things began to change when his father got deathly sick.  He became bitter and cold.  His parents began to drift apart.  There was never much happiness or love in his childhood.  But, things continued to grow difficult.

   However, since Richard came to know the Lord as his Savior, he began to understand a lot more.   It allowed him to see that true happiness is not found in material things, but, in the Lord.

   Richard began to make a lot of important decisions.  He downsized his job position a bit so that he could spend more time with his family.  He organized trips to spend happy times with them.

   But, Richard made an extra effort to talk to his father about the Lord.  He visited him as much as possible and gave him a bible and material to read.  He also made an extensive effort to talk to his mother and siblings too.

   Richard knew that it was a hard thing to wish for.  But, he remembered his Pastor saying that 'nothing is impossible with God'.  We just need to believe.

   So, Richard prayed and continually believed for his miracle.  One day, he got a phone call.  His father wanted to speak to him.  Richard immediately flew up to be at his side.

   His father gave his heart to the Lord just a few weeks before he died.  His mother and siblings were saved too.  Richard was amazed when he read the revised version of his father's will  

   He wanted a foundation set up to help others.  His miracle had been realized.  Richard's relationship with the Lord grew even deeper.  He came to one important conclusion.  He is an awesome God!
