1 August 2015 Pastor Delvin Strecker Parsonage/Pastor s Office: (785) Dori Weber, Church Secretary Cell Phone: (785) Church Phone: (785) strecker.delvin@gmail.com elimsec@gmail.com Dear Members of Elim, I recently had a conversation with someone who said that even after a lifetime of being a member of the church, they found it hard to have a meaningful prayer life. I knew I had a story in my files that showed how it really isn t all that difficult to have a prayer life. I found it and want to share it with all of you. Many of you may have heard it years ago, but I still think that it can teach a lesson Pastor Delvin MOM'S EMPTY CHAIR A woman's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her mother. When the minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed with her head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside her bed. The minister assumed that the woman had been informed of his visit. 'I guess you were expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you?' said the mother. The minister told her his name and then remarked, 'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up.' 'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden woman. 'Would you mind closing the door?' Puzzled, the minister shut the door. 'I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter,' said the woman. 'But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head.' I abandoned any attempt at prayer,' the old woman continued, ' until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me, ' 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 in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I will 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 do it 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 moved by the story and encouraged the old woman to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil, and returned to the church. Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her mama had died that afternoon. Did she die in peace?' he asked.
2 Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, she called me over to her bedside, told me she loved me and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found her. But there was something strange about her death. Apparently, just before Mom died, she leaned over and rested her head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?' The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, 'I wish we could all go like that.' Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God Painful moments, trust God Every moment, thank God. ~ WELCA NEWS ~ Dates to remember: Wednesday, August 26 1:30 p.m. Quilting at church Friday, August 28 2:00 p.m. Riverview Birthday Party WELCA Group now meets on the second Sunday of the month from 9:30-10:15 a.m. There will no longer be individual group meetings or Wednesday night meetings.
