Died today at the age of 99 years in all peaceful surrounds
In his home at Montreat, North Carolina
His Life was
flourishing and decay
every minute in every way
just like nature around him
there are flourishings to the brim
and decay ones, yes also for him
he accepted his life as it comes and goes
more happy moments than all his woes
before going further
this verse is not in chronologic order
this is his life
Ruth was his caring and loving wife
as God´s servant he has his own strife
and also his own Billy Graham rule
since any woman can make him a lover´s fool
he ardently wants to bring God´s news to mankind during his life
his five children, constantly at home with his wife
his parents helped him all their life
telling people about God from the Holy Scriptures
this was his love, he wrote his own textures
for all the people he preached to
for all the countries he visited
for his belief in the only God
he followed his heart
he was constantly in the right spot
it started when he became sixteen
not mature yet still a teen
the greatest message in his preachings is
HOPE for the individual,
HOPE for society
and HOPE for the world
and all there is
In 2005 his last interview with the BBC
his life on earth has reached its end
afterward, he will spend
his eternal life together with God above
he must only not forget
to change his home address
it would be Heaven´s Road, for the Press
Billy Graham is the first Christian
who preached behind the Iron Curtain
also in communist China
he was an ardent visitor of the White House
spoke to Truman till Barack Obama
not only those two men, also their spouse
from Harry Truman on
each new president
who was elected
he was acquainted with
Obama was the last selected
Trump was never on his list
perhaps a strange bliss
He has paid the sum of money
to get Martin Luther King out of jail
before or after this
it was again God+s Bliss
they held a Joint Preaching
with Martin Luther, of course, they were singing
since his retirement in 2005
he spoke about going to God
he said this himself in that BBC-interview
his words here are instantly born and new
Billy Graham:
‘Someday you will read or hear
that Billy Graham is dead
Don´t you believe a word of it
I shall be alive than I am now
I will just have changed my address
I will have gone into the presence of God’
his beloved spouse Ruth went first in 2007
the Lord needs him just today
on the 21st of February Wednesday
his latest and last important advice:
‘It is not how others see us
but how God sees us’
Over 58 years, Billy Graham preached at 417 crusades
In 185 countries and territories worldwide
That is enormous on this global side
reached 84 million people from face to face
a total of 215 million by satellite feeds, oh what a pace!
His second daughter Anne
Who followed his footsteps
in announcing about God, the heaviest job
because she is also wife and mother of three children
her married life with Dr. Loz was much hindrance
despite these disasters, she has found God
she wrote about that in her books.
I can write more about Billy Graham
But then that would be like mayhem
I love God as I like very much Rev. Graham
I´d like to keep this Tribute nearest Bethlehem
This is a long Tribute, a great IN MEMORIAM
for our beloved Rev. Billy Graham
I just know that he had Parkinson since 1992
OMG that was entire suffering for him
Each job and obligation to God he constantly finished to the brim
Neatly, correctly and perfect results, a constant Praise the Lord
to all people all over the world and to all passengers aboard
I also am a humble servant of God
I wished to witness the burial of Billy on his spot
This is only my wish and when God permits
His last words in that 2005-BBC interview
I still remember Billy´s words as they were new
‘Someday you will read or hear
that Billy Graham is dead
Don´t you believe a word of it
I shall be alive than I am now
I will just have changed my address
I will have gone into the presence of God’
so he said to the BBC about himself and how.
Dear friends, it´s gonna be late
Let me say it now and very straight
this is New Life after our old life that´s obsolete
he is love, happiness, and pure God´s mate
to preach worldwide live, all over this Globe
about God´s Love, our Faith, and our Hope.
So odd, it feels as if he would come back
since he said to the BBC
‘that he will just have changed his address-lack
he will have gone into the presence of God’ you see….
