Sojo Asked Far this on his question forum I thought it very thought provoking and thought we could all think about this and toss out our thoughts and answers it is an amazing question....thanks Sojo.

My answer is yes, if there is a heaven, my daughters will surely go there because of me.

Only God knows the answer to this one because I believe that we never really know someone completely

.

Who knows what they are up to when we are not looking.

I don't believe in Heaven in the conventional way.

This is only my opinion :-4

The first time I remember was when I was about 12 and was at a Christian camp for a week. Near the end of the week, around the campfire they had an altar call..

A gal in our camphouse wanted to go forward, but did not want to go alone. She wanted me and Jancie to go with her. Jancie and I looked at one another, nodded and said we'd go with her.

She was "saved" that night.

It was a very small thing that we did and took no effort on our parts, but it did move her forward............

I don't know about heaven, but there are a couple that I hope I have sent to hell.

I met a man once at a feed store outside our town, I was about 14 and was working there and he was homeless and passing through. I asked him if he needed a meal, he said yes and I told him if he walked with me my mother would feed him. He declined. A few days later my father brought him home and he sat down at our table and looked around at the 8 of us kids. Four of the 8 of us had encountered him in the span of about four days. The man looked around at each of us in amazement. None of us kids had mentioned to anyone else we invited him and it was funny to see all our reactions to it and hear how each of us encountered him and invited him. My father was pleased that each of us had acted independently, and as he prayed for our evening meal he told God how this man must be needed in the kingdom of God since God saw fit to have him be asked five times into our home and how he hoped it wont take five explaination of the gospel to allow him to understand how to meet God. Of course we snickered a bit.

He stayed on the whole summer and I worked with him and he with me and we became friends. And he would ask me things about God and my family from time to time and I answered his questions as best I could. About a year later he returned to our home and our farm and worked more and my father lead him to the Lord one day not to long after he arrived for the second time. The man stood up in our church many years later and gave his testimony at missionary conference. He told them all that it was my faith that made him first believe that God was real.

So I can't say I ever lead someone to the lord myself, but I know I've been enough of an example to point the right direction.

God uses us all, if we will but let him.

God's Grace and God's Grace alone.....but setting an example and sharing the Truth is very important. Be a beacon.

The Holy Spirit works in amazing ways.

I am sure a lot of people will be surprised by who they meet, wherever they find themselves.
