At OHWC, one of our sisters gave a message on Isaiah 40 about how true strength and peace comes from the Lord. Throughout the message, a new resident named Mr. R kept agreeing with a loud “Amen!” During the portion of the message in which we presented the gospel, he said, “He saved us!” Afterwards, he told one of our staff that he was thankful for the message and that it was timely because he has Lou Gehrig’s disease. He said, “I have Lou Gehrig’s disease, but I’m not afraid. Because I know that after this life, I’m going home! In Heaven, every knee shall bow before God, and I will be able to bow on my knees.” The staff felt so encouraged and challenged by Mr. R. Even though he is relatively young and has this disease, Mr. R had such a grateful and joyful attitude about life.
