Apology

I apologize for being late again. Time is getting away from me.

The best part of the week was yesterday when I met Jacques at a nursing home. He had been raised orthodox and was living reform, not attending synagogue anywhere. What bothers me is he is in a nursing home away from family and no one there for him.

When I entered his room automatically my eye saw the cheerfulness and beauty there. This man had taken a common room and made it a home. Plants of all kinds lined the window sill (this attracted my attention because it reminded me of my mom who loved plants and always had the window sills full of different types). There were fresh apples on his side table and simple comfortable looking chairs for guests.

We had a good conversation. He does believe in G-d. Jacques only sees Yeshua as a founder of a religion like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob founded Judaism. Jacques does not recognize Yeshua as the Messiah (He does not know enough about Yeshua to know him as the Messiah)When asked how he would recognize the Messiah when he came, Jacques replied he did not know. He received a special edition of the New Testament and has allowed me to visit him again. Please pray for this man to go on to learn who the Messiah is.
