My prayer is that everyone here will accept the Lord into their hearts and they everyone here will love their children and their family. View Quote Fluffy, I believe this happens on a daily basis and you have hit the nail on the head. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I feel like He always uses people according to His will, no matter how hard it is to understand. We, as humans, are very impatient. We want answers, and we want answers now. We don't always see the reasons why God does something, and there is no guarantee that we ever will during our Earthly life. Small things happen daily that put us in different places at different times or maybe meeting new people in new places and we never even question. When it comes to losing life though, we are very quick to scream "why", or turn our back to God, as we are mumbling about "why he took this life so soon", or "why did this happened to such a good person". I think this plays out most of the time with the death or sickness of young children. I have seen the death of a child turn many, many people to The Lord. Do I believe this is he only reason God takes a life early? No. Is this the only reason people are sick? No. I'm no Bible scholar and don't claim to be. I just saying you are spot on about God sending Jeff here for a reason. Something made him pick up his tablet and post that night. Something made him share his story, and talk about his faith. I think we know what that something is. He has touched many people with his sickness. He has made many fathers and mothers spend that afternoon with their children, instead of laying around on the laptop or working late. He has made people look for God. He has brought Cristians like myself a little closer to God. He has touched thousands and thousands of unspoken people who just come here daily to read, that never post. He has, and continues to put up a good fight while this thread grows and touches more and more people every day. Stay strong Jeff. I continue to pray for you and your family daily. |

i have been following along since the 1st day. WOW! how things change fast. i only "stepped away" for a few days......
i do not know what else i can say that has not been said already. my prayers to his family. i hope his son enjoys his "new" M1A that has recently arrived. i would like to extend an invitation for his son to come on back to arfcom when his is ready and say hi. i am sure we can get some people together to take him to the range and get him acquainted with his rifle. an "arfcom family" shooting day. maybe some hunting too...... God Bless you all. |

Jeff,
Thanks for making your original post. Without that many of us would have gone through our days just like we always had. You have touched so many lives and allowed numerous cranky ARF.COMER's to show a softer side and their faith. This really is a pretty amazing community. I hope that you rest well tonight knowing that we are still thinking of you and your family. Thank you, and may God Bless. Jeff |

He has touched a part of our humanity that is all too often overlooked or neglected in our daily lives. Jeff, Neta, you and your family are not alone. You now have an entire Arfcom army standing by your side, ready and willing to help, each in his or her own way. You need only ask and someone, somewhere, will be there to provide. We are here for you and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Goodnight and God Bless. |
