grandfathers
i have 2 grandfathers..sm ppl think tt grandfathers r all e same.well,i can say,definitely not!haha..my 2 grandfathers are very very very diff.my dad's father is someone rather difficult to get along with.he likes to bring up past issues and he enjoys complaing.whereas my mom's dad is a taxi driver who's really nice to all of us.he wld often pay us visits n wld buy gifts 4 us n he'll give us money when he strikes lottery.e sad thing is tt he is a non believer.it's interestg...because he knows my dad is studyg in a Bible sch n tt we're financially tight.so he wld help us by gvg me money for my uni educatn n he wld always want to reject my mom's ang bao to him coz he knws our situation.yet on the other hand,my other Christian grandfather(dad's dad),he keeps tellg my dad not to study there any more.he doesn't evn encourage my dad in his studies.so as children,we wld of course kinda prefer my mom's dad...haha..ya..but as i think abt it,despite my dad's father's character,i knw tt deep in his heart,he stil loves us all.i rembr tt in the past,he wld also buy things up to my house to give to us.s ppl grow old,they tend to get grumpy n a little unreasonable.recently,e doctor said tt he has "lao ren chi dai zheng" aka dementia...meang tt he wil slowly forget thgs n if it gets really bad,he'll even forgt how to bathe or how to eat.when i knew about this,i thought to myself,i better treasure him and talk to him now when he still can remember me.if nt it's gg to be too late.n for my other grandfather,i'v been tryg many diff ways to bring the gospel to him.i hv copied the gospel in chinese in a letter to him.i've shared w him abt some stds comg to know Christ.i've asked him to come to church.n he said he will la,once he quits his job as a taxi driver then he wld be free on sunday mornings.e nxt thing i'm going to do is to invite him and my grandma for my baptism and i'll share my testimony in hokkein.each time i think of them and knw tt they r not saved,tears wld jus flow out of my eyes.i realy do not want to see them die without knowg Christ.it's my deepest prayer tt they will cm to knw Christ.
help me to trust.
