During the farewell gathering for a sibling, Marie met up with distant relatives and friends from her home village and were very inspired by their strong Christian spirits and faith. These ladies and men were of the profound belief that Death is not the end but the beginning of living in the house of the Father. These relatives, she would not have recognised if anyone passes her by the roadside. These blood ties, she did not even know existed until a passing brought the introduction and contact.
They all belonged to the Charismatic movement of the Methodist and Lutheran Church. Never knew these churches had charismatic movements. Ladies and men in their fifties, sixties and seventies, each with such powerful testimonies to share. They go on mission trips, to Thailand, Russia, China, etc..etc..they see proverty , they see the might of the Lord, His hand in all their mission works and become even more devout Christians. They speak of conversions of people in their seventies and still living and active in church work , even now in their eighties...Each and everyone strong of limbs and mind and they all attributed it to the blessings of God. They firmly believe, it is Faith that brings in the Providence and the strength! How beautiful! A niece when told that one of her aunties is not christian, told her gently, you must believe in Jesus,- He is the Life and the Way. ...Her newly found relatives told this writer, how beautiful and wonderful, it is doing God's work!! Inspiration indeed!.Their commitment and support for one another is admirable , something this writer would like to emulate and learn...
