Mr. Decker,
I wanted to write and thank you, 10 years later, for
all that you taught our class at LCS!
This has been a year of testing for me. I am now a single
mother. I have never grieved more than I have over this. But through the
suffering I learned in a real way who my Jesus is. I leaned on Him, I leaned on
the knowledge of his attributes, and His names. No matter how dark my day,
always in my heart was the great truth that He IS the I AM – unchanging,
eternal, holy…My rock.
I am preparing now to help teach a small portion of a
ladies’ Bible study that starts this fall; I get to teach the names of Christ. Already
the materials from the class you taught me are helping me prepare for that. My
tattered copy of “The Knowledge of the Holy” is getting some mileage again! So thank
you – thank you for teaching something practical, useable, and eternal. It
has changed my life.
My daughter is in the living room singing “I’ll fly away, oh
glory, I’ll fly away…” Oh, how the Lord has given us beauty for ashes this
year!
Thank you again for everything. You’ll always be a part of
our lives because you taught us to know our God!
In Christ,
Note: I have left the name off because of the personal
nature. I think it was written around 2005, but I am making a guess from an
unclear postmark.
Dad was especially encouraged by this note and showed it to
everyone that was close to him. It was not a matter of pride for him. Rather,
it was a clear demonstration that the seeds he had planted had produced fruit.
He was like anyone else in Christian service. It is good to know that you have
made a difference in your service to the Lord.
Perhaps, you need to express thanks to someone in your past
today that made a difference in you!
