Prayer Chair

A man's female offspring had asked the native minister to return and pray together with her father. Once the minister arrived, he found the person lying in bed together with his head propped informed 2 pillows. An associate empty chair Sat beside his bed. 

The minister assumed that the previous fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me," he said. "No, who are you?" said the father. "I'm the new minister at your church," he replied. "When I saw the empty chair, I patterned you knew I used to be progressing to show up." "Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the minister shut the door. 


"I have not told anyone this, not even my female offspring," said the person. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, however, it went right over my head. I abandoned any try at prayer," the previous man continuing, "until at some point, regarding four years past, my friend said to me,
'Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus.'
 
Here is what I suggest. Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair before of you, and in religion see Son of God (Jesus) on the chair. It isn't spooky as He promised, "I'll be with you always." Then, just speak to Him in the same way you're doing with me right now.' So, I tried it, and I've liked it so much that I practice it for a couple of hours every day. I'm careful though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."

The minister was deeply affected by the story and inspired the previous man to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil, and came back to the church. Two nights later the female offspring referred to as to inform the minister that her pappa had died that afternoon.

"Did he die in peace?" he asked. "Yes, after I left the house regarding 2 o' clock, he referred to me over to his side, told me he beloved me and kissed me on the cheek. After I came from the shop associate hour later, I found him dead. However, there was one thing strange regarding his death. Apparently, simply before pappa died, he leaned over and lively his head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?

The minister wiped a tear from his eye and same, "I wish we could all go like that".
