Beside prayers, please tell me what I can do
My friend died from cancer in Dec of 04. I attended
her funeral. She was converted untill her last 3
months on earth. She died very suddenly and many
of us just accepted the cause.
Point is her husband is leading very luxious life and
is feeling a loss right now. He cried and kept thinking of his lost wife. We Christian friends asked
him to stand up and get back to normal life. I sent
him Dr Wan's tapes (who also lost his beloved wife
almost 10 years ago) He felt grateful to me and told me he did not need the tapes anymore. I think God's words have worked so that I did not call him for some time. He did not go to Church because he
said he would. He has his own Christian relatives or friends.
I called two days ago (less than 3 months from his wife's death). He told me he was dating with his wife's friend's daughter (over 35 maybe, I do not know the lady.) ...................he said he met her in the hospital and his wife used to imply so and so. I did not really approve this. But I asked him to rethink the situation. Wait to see how other people may see or may accept. He told me he did not know "How Long" a new relation or sociality should be started. I told me friends may wish him to get back to the normal life asap. However, he has started dating . He concerned a few things like
1. Where did his wife go after death?
After listening to Dr Wan's tape, he does not
ask me anymore. I think he needs to go to church to learn from pasters and words in bible.
2. He definitely wants to have a new wife (I think so
because he just concentrate what people think
about his new relationship).
3. I feel sorry for him. He has no more interest to meet people from church (my church). I did not know if he may refuse his wife's church.
4. I think he is blinded by his wealth and lustful thoughts. I said so because he is finding reasons he could do so to only comfort himself. I might concern more about his wife's mother's feelings. He did not mention his wife's relatives. He just told me his own sister (a HR manager!) has seen the new girl friend and has approved this. He says he likes his new girl friend. A man 48 can do what he likes after his wife died three months later. Right! ? I told him I had to keep secret for the his best interest. ( I think I am feeling pity for my old friend, his wife, and her beloved family too)
Actually in the phone I told him to keep low key to his own action. I asked him not to bring it up so that all other people may see and bless him if he himself really takes serious about the new relationship. I to ld him to keep doing what he feels naturally doing unless anyone may get hurt.
I pray that I am not seeing this in my selfish way.
Therefore, I keep secret now even my husband
know him well.
I did not (cannot) mind this guy my friend (he has got a son 23 soon a Ugradruate to stay alone all his life. But I really do not know what he is thinking
easpecially he and his new girlfriends just both feel alone, should love mutually. I asked him to be more patient to observe how they are going together.
Oh, I have bad feelings that he will not go to chuch because he told me his girl friend is a catholic and I said it was alright. But it is not all right at all.
I blessed him in the phone because I did not know why I did so. Now I think because I did not KNOW him very well.
Do not count your days down!
