ben franklin ervin

i wasn’t drinking or using but i was about as spiritually fit as cabbage/ there was a hole in my soul

i heard you share and i sensed a wisdom that i knew would help me if you would agree to work with me             you said you would  and i spent 10 years hanging on to every word you said and you helped me to begin a spiritual journey that i had no idea where it would take me      but i saw how you helped people, how you studied to improve you connection to that power, we both called God, and how you went through the death of your wife, the murder of your son, the endless struggles you had with your health and your faith never wavered…………………………………………never

i lost my natural Father two years before we met and you really helped to fill that void, you became my confidant, my teacher, my spiritual guide and my best friend

you went out of your way to be available to me and i went out of my way to see you and it was a very small price to pay

i am grateful you knew i loved you/ and i am grateful i knew you loved me

you never talked down to me, instead you kinda chuckled when i was way off the mark and needed to be redirected and you would share a similar situation, what you did and how that worked for you

i was adopted into your family because it was obvious to everyone that i was respectful and held you in the highest regard

how many people does one have in their life, that are life changers?    i don’t know but i suppose not that many                     you not only changed my life, you taught me about aspects of life that were foreign to me…….

if i hadn’t had a faith before we met, grateful i did, i would have adopted one soon after meeting you              i have to believe in God and all that stuff/have to  because i walked, talked and prayed with an angel for over ten years

i hear people say it’s hard to believe in something you can’t see or feel, i bite my lip

come on brother, sister, wake up

ask God, whatever you want to call Him, It, She………………………..to send you a guide and it will happen               and if you listen, you will find there are angels here to guide us                       mine was Ben Franklin Ervin  and I miss Him

Dear God i need another……………………………………..
