Those of you who attended the Ladies Retreat in February remember Jennifer O'Neill. (Even if you didn't attend you will remember her from her Cover Girl model and movie star days) At the retreat, Jen poured her heart out to us through her riveting testimony. She told us of her parents love for each other, and that they have lived with her for many years. She also told us of her concern for their salvation.
Last Monday, August 17th, her dad, Oscar, passed away. He was 92 years old. Jennifer is heartbroken, but her assistant said that they are believing that her dad made the decision somewhere along the way to accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.
They have been going through some changes, including moving to another house, her dad's hospitalizations, and numerous other things. As the Holy Spirit prompts you, please remember Jen and her family in your prayers. Specifically, that God will use all of this heartache for His purpose.
Jen has a full speaking engagement schedule for the Fall. Pray for her as she grieves and fulfills these commitments. If you would like to leave her a note of encouragement, you can go to her web site at http://www.jenniferoneill.com/ and contact her from there. I know it would mean the world to her to hear from you.
I pray for you a beautiful day in the Lord!
Reflect on this passage today. There is HOPE in Jesus!
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, "even as others" which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: "and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so "shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I Thessalonians 4: 13-18.
God Bless,
Pam
