My uncle Monroe (goes by Sonny) is in the hospital right now, in bad shape. My dad told me that they said his liver isn't working, and don't think he will live. I won't tell a huge story, but my uncle has been a drinker for a long time, and I guess it's caught up to him now. He's been to the hospital a few times before for different reasons. I don't know his status on religion, but I'm thinking that he's probably been "lost" for a while now. I feel like a horrible nephew because I haven't visited him a lot, nor seen him very much. I'm pretty sure he knows that I don't hate him or anything, but I still feel bad in that sense. But, I won't let that stop me from visiting him in the hospital obviously. I've already prayed for him multiple times, and I've talked to my dad about reminding him of Christ, to pray to God, and give him a bible, all that stuff more or less. I felt it'd be better my dad did that, because I don't know as much as he does, and feel a bit more confident in my dad. I wanted to get him a bible on the way there, but my dad's reminded me that they have them at the hospital, so I'm hoping we can find him one there. I pray and hope that Sonny will accept Christ if he hasn't, and that he will ask for forgiveness. I really don't want him to end up in Hell.
So, please pray for my uncle if you don't mind.
Thanks, and God bless. smile
I'm going to visit him soon after I post this thread, so if anyone is curious as to how he's doing, post and I'll reply with an update later on.

Recite Spirit Reborn Hey Recite, I'm real sorry to hear about your uncle. My prayers are with him. Definitely would appreciate an update whenever you get the chance to. Thank you very much, Crissy. smile I don't know when we're leaving to visit him exactly, because he was taken to the hospital just today, but I know we are going soon. So, I'll give you an update later on for sure on what I come to know. It might be later tonight, or tomorrow.
Of course : )
And not a problem at all. Hope he's doing okay. |

Spirit Reborn I'm so glad to know he's doing much better C: I will definitely keep him, you, and his family in my prayers. Thank you for updating us on his current condition. May God heal his liver and bless him with energy, strength, and healing overall. God bless~
You're welcome. emotion_yatta And thank you again. emotion_kirakira
I hope and pray for the same.
911child By any chance, does he know God?
To be honest, I'm not sure of his status on religion. I'm sure he knows God, but I can't say much, because like I said, I'm not sure if he's very religious or not. I'd rather not assume anything or jump to conclusions, but I have prayed for the opportunity to try and remind him of God, more or less. I don't know how I would, and I feel kind of pressured when I think about it, but I still hope and pray that he can accept Christ if he hasn't before, or can ask for forgiveness. I've talked with my dad about reminding him of God, but we haven't really said anything on the matter yet, because the first night we were there, family and relatives were also there and he was kind of in and out. The next day or two, we came to visit him and hang around for a while, but as I said, I don't how I would/should remind him of God, and feel that pressure. I feel more confident in my dad doing that, so at some point I'm going to talk with him about this again. I guess for now I'll wait for an opportunity? I'm not sure. gonk |

I suggest just read the bible out loud to him. |
