An inspiring life story of a man who lost everything but has made it through the worst.

Your story is inspiring

You had a good life

With children and wife

But you came through by desiring

Rock bottom is what you hit

But came out on top

You came to Jesus and didn’t stop

Now you can share with others your faithful wit

Thank you for being an inspiration to others like me

I continue to remember you in my prayers

I thank God for people like you who are willing to share

It makes it easier for those in need of the Lord to see

    Sounds like someone lived a full life. It’s sad to lose someone like that, but it’s good they overcame their struggles.

    Thank you for all the wonderful comments. However the story is not about death, or maybe death of old self. This man I speak of is very much alive and has found life much better with the Lord leading his life. God Bless!
