BLESS THIS HOUSE & FORGIVE PEOPLE
I remember my daughter Audrey was so sick with a high fever and Gene came to our home in Candler to anoint her and pray for her. Then he put his hand on the wall and prayed for God to bless our house and to keep us safe there. My baby was well the next day and I always felt safe in that house.
Another time we had an emergency at the hospital and there were some people there that treated me badly. Well Gene came to the hospital and when he saw what was going on he came to my aid. He prayed with me when I cried and even though he didn't say anything to the ones who had hurt my heart he told me that they had hurt him by their actions also. Then he talked about forgiving and that when people are upset they say things they shouldn't say. I don't know what would have happened if Gene hadn't been there that awful time to console me and my son. I thank him so much for helping me learn to forgive loved ones when the heart feels so broken. That is the kind of person he was. He was there for the sick, the prisoner, the needy, the broken hearted, and anybody else who needed him. I talked with him and Marie at Ryans just a short time ago. He talked to me a little about that despairing night so long ago, but then he said you're doing good aren't you, because I can see it in your face! He knew I was close with our Lord again without me even having to tell him. Thank God for Eugene Dodd being in my life!
