Hi Joosep. I know this thread is from a long time ago but thought I’d answer it and bring you up to date on Tracey and her father. Her father passed away in November last year. 3 days later Tracey was diagnosed with terminal cancer which was untreatable. I have just today been at her memorial service. What a tremendous trophy of grace she was. Amongst other things it was mentioned her love of learning scripture. She had learnt the entire book of the Song of Solomon. She never complained during her illness and spoke to everyone of the Lord. She witnessed non stop as she had all her life since coming to Christ. She wasn’t perfect but I do wish I could be more like her in her zeal and courage to share the gospel. She was so happy to be going home to be with the Lord. She leaves behind a brother who is still unsaved. She witnessed to him to her dying day.
JDJDJD, good morning, and thank you for sharing that. It's very moving. It's quite a testimony about her, that "she never complained during her illness". May I Lord Jesus, be less of a complainer and more thankful towards You. I look forward very much to meeting her in person someday just as I also do other believers whom I've known, who've gone on to be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Thanks for your compassion joosep. Dad is quite independent really, and despite being a raging atheist, he's been coming to church with me for the past year now. Mostly because he likes people and he doesn't want to be on his own while I'm out (church is an hour's) drive.) But Zachias was only engaging in a spectator sport when the Lord found him. So perhaps the Lord will pass by one day and call my Dad to him too.
Sorry to see you go from the Leader board group. Hope you don't mind but I've clicked your Follow button. You're an encouragement to me, and there's something very Christian about not being able to make ourselves invisible on this site, because we are, of course, never alone in the body of Christ. ☺
