Mom got saved!!!!!!

Thanks for all your wonderful prayers and support. I am back on the east coast right now helping my dad take care of my mom. My younger brother is a Deacon in his church, and last week before I came home I called him to ask him if mom was saved. He said no and that he had talked to her several times about being saved and so has alot of my relatives. She said at the time she wasn't ready yet. Well the day before I came out here, he texted me and told me she had been saved. The pastor from his church came to mom and dads house and sat down with her and got her saved. Everyone on my moms side of the family are believers and they were all worried about her not being saved. Yesterday (Sat.) we has a big family get together and just about everyone came. What a relief it was to everyone when I told them about mom being saved. I am so happy in my heart that I now know that I will be with mom in heaven someday. As for her condition, her GP doctor gives her around 2-3 weeks but her cancer doctor thinks mayby 3-5 months. My mom is a tuff woman. As far as making amends goes as some of you guys stated I think I will love on her for awhile instead. I will keep you posted on here. Thanks again for being here and your love, support and prayers.

That is the best amend I can think of.

That is wonderful news that she opened her heart to the truth and received Christ. Talk about the 11th hour! Will not matter once she is there w/ Christ though. Just like the workers in the vineyards. They all received the same wage whether they had worked the whole day, part day or 1 hr. She too will be with Christ, and may even beat you to heaven, but you will see her again! Blessings, Sheila

That is so wonderful. You will be together again.
I agree with Best, love is the best amend you can make.
Sending prayers.
I know it is a relief on your heart knowing that your mother is safe and belongs to God's family where you will be joined together in heaven.
