I am seventy-nine years old, and I have known the Lord almost all my life. I was reared in this Gospel, but that Christian training did not make a change in my heart. When I was young, the lights of the world looked bright, and I decided to go see what the world had to offer. I was far from the Gospel, but my upbringing had made an impression on me and God strove with me wherever I went. I was not out in sin for very long before I saw what a bitter choice I had made.

One day I got down on my knees and asked God to come into my heart and give me satisfaction. He did not disappoint. He made a marvelous change in my life. From that day to this, I have been happy in the Gospel.

I am so thankful for how good God has been to me. A week ago, I was very sick while at home by myself. I was not too sick to pray though, so I got on my knees and asked God to heal my body. He answered prayer immediately.

Then again, this morning, while I was getting ready to go to church, I suddenly felt sick and had to call for my husband of fifty-seven years to help me. I told him I wasn’t able to go, and He just said, “We will pray, because the Lord said He would be in the midst where two or three are gathered together.” We prayed, and God certainly was there—I was in church this morning.

I thank God for everything He has done for me. I love Jesus with all my heart.
