UNCLE MJ

Uncle MJ wrote this letter to me years ago, and the words in his letter were a tremendous help, and so beautifully written,that I wanted to share them in the hopes of helping someone else:
"Dearest Becky,your Mom called this morning so we could pray with her about your present trials. We are immediately thanking our wonderful Lord that He has given you so many Divine resources to help you through these difficult days and nights. Since we know that you live intimately with the Comforter and seek His counsel daily, we are optimistic that you will not be defeated by what you are confronted with. We also know that you are aware of Jesus's promises to His own, and the Everlasting Faithfulness of our Heavenly Father. What a priviledge to be a child of God at such a time and how reassuring it is to us to know of the reality of your relationship to Him.Then added to all those things you have going for you,is to know that you have a good relationship with the body of Christ there in Aiken.
When your Mother's call came,my heart was breaking for you,Becky,but I could still rejoice, because you are my sister in Christ as well as my niece.God bless you Becky," and remember I Cor.10:13. The word temptation could also be translated "testing."
............Uncle MJ loaned me his life's verse,which was Hebrews 13:5-6
When I read these words I see so much of Grandmother Bouterse coming from this 93 year old retired Navy Chaplain.He just recently went Home to be with the Lord and my last words to him, were to tell Grandmother "Thank You for telling me about Jesus!"He said he thought that would make her very,very happy!
He may have won a Purple Heart, but he actually had a heart of gold!
