Loss

I attended 2 wakes in the last week and a half, one just last night. My tennis coach's dad. He shared with me last week that though his dad has reached a stage where it's prolly better for him to go. But he was very stubborn, to the point of not wanting to go for an operation to treat his infections because he feared that he might not wake up after that. His dad had been in the hospital for close to 2 weeks. He shared that his father was not a believer and I told him that perhaps the reason why God is still keeping him might be because God is giving him a chance to reach out to his dad.

Last night, after the wake, he shared with anne and I that on the night his dad went, his good friend actually went down to pray for and pray with the dad. Then his dad left at 11ish at night. But he's not sure if his dad received Jesus that night.

Makes me think about my parents' salvation and how I have been slacked in praying for them. :(. I have tried on a few occasions to share with them, but they said they are too busy with their lives to want to "commit to christianity". As for me, I have also been too concerned about the things in my life to care about the ones who are supposedly closest to me. Something's gotta change. I don't think I want to wait till they are on their death bed before I really try to persuade them to receive Jesus into their life, and not be certain whether they actually do.
