What the heck?? Last Christmas the boys and I were shocked when Dave surprised us all with new "smart" phones….The best part was that he was so proud of the "sale" he got them on and that they were Microsoft phones which he was happy with since that is the company who pays the bills!! You may be thinking "Ya…we sure DO need a Bill Gates in our life!!"…wrong Billy!
Dave explained that the phones had not been changed to our "old" numbers yet so we all had strange cell #'s for a couple of days in the meantime. When I first realized I had a message it was a combination of excitement and puzzlement! Who had this number anyway??? When I played the message back I couldn't exactly place the southern male African American accent…After all, I come from a white toast kind of family…From the moment I heard it, I knew I had to share it!
"Hello…This is Brother Billy. Calling to see how you are doing. Merry Christmas to ya. I just wanna call u brother and encourage you and let you know I love ya brother…Be encouraged…Keep on looking up to Jesus…will come all your help.
Wanna have a short prayer with you.."Father in the name of Jesus…lift my brother "O" today God..Gift him what he needs God… he can't make it without you God…Lord we need a closer walk with you a closer talk with ya.. You say we all need prayer and I am prayin'!
You say look to the hills will come all thy help and all thy help come from you…let your will be done in my brother's life, God…Bless his family…bless his wife…bless his son in the name of Jesus we give you all of the praise and all of the glory in Jesus name…Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus! Let Thy will be done!
In Jesus name
Amen and Amen
I love you brother "O"
Be encouraged…
Keep on looking up brother!
Have a blessed holiday"
Call me crazy, but it is mid June and I have saved that phone call since Christmas day! After all…there are days when we all need a message from "Brother Billy" and I can't imagine saying it any better! Thanks Dave…and thanks Brother Billy wherever you are!
