All these young men and women who have reached maturity, placed in the business world or in the professions, where they can work to the glory of God. Before my death, or before the return of the Lord in glory, before I prostrate myself before His throne in the hereafter to gaze on Him, I would like to have the desire of my heart and see all the above fulfilled. We are created to live, not created to die. Therefore we want to live to see all the good things enumerated to happen. I hate death.
Death is our enemy.
But, maybe the Lord is not planning to grant unto me all these desires and petitions. Maybe He wants me to be through with the good things of this earth. Through with dairies, farms, wells, crops, business. Through with wife, children, grandchildren. Thus wrote I to my children.
