that Fred's "help me" could only be answered by Him.

                      Song 2:10-13 “My beloved spake, and said unto me, ‘Rise up,
              my love, my fair one, and come away.  For lo, the winter is past, the
              rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the
              singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our
              land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
              tender  grape  give  a  good  smell.   Arise,  my  love,  my  fair  one,  and
              come away…’”

                      What  Fred  and  I  experienced  with  God  those  last  several
              months of his life has transformed me.   I no longer believe that God
              needs  my  help  in  fighting  His  battles.   Our  weapons  for  battle  are
              spiritual  -  to  me  that  is  the  Spiritual  One,  Jesus.   In  Eph.6:13  Paul
              says, "Therefore take up the full armor of God, that you may be able
              to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
              The full armor of God is Jesus Himself.   We just need to rest in Him
              as our All-Sufficient One.

                      It was a joy to see Josh and Fred work out their differences
              during  Fred’s  illness.   Josh  shared  his  past  hurts  with  Fred.    Fred
              listened and asked for forgiveness, which Josh gave.  I’m so glad that
              our son can now remember the good times he had with his Dad and
              not have them clouded over by holding on to past resentments.  Praise
              God!
