Every 'note' that I write holds a special importance to me. I keep a file of them all and I can go back and look at any given one of them and recall exactly what I was feeling on any particular given day. The one that I am writing today will be perhaps the one closest to my heart, for obvious reasons.
I know you have all heard of The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, The Three Wise Men and Three Blind Mice. Up until this moment, you might not have heard of The Three Miller Boys, but that is about to change. I wanna tell you a little bit about Hammer, Bruce and Ben. I listed their names in the order in which they were born, with my dad being in the middle. As I grew up, all three of them played a huge part in my life. Its hard to describe the closeness that these three brothers have always shared. Yes, they have had their spats....yes, they often got 'hostile'.....but the fact of the matter IS......When it comes down to it.....at any given moment, each one of these three brothers would give their right arm, bend over backwards or face a stampede of angry elephants for one another!
Our Bible also tells us of three boys, three Hebrew boys, to be exact....Sharrach, Meshach and Abednego (Daniel 3). These three boys were thrown into a fiery furnace due to their belief in their one true God. I am in no way implying that my dad and uncles are blameless, however they do share similarities to the three boys. The three Hebrew boys withstood the flames together. They were united and shared more than a measure of faith. They were headstrong, determined and fearless in times of adversity. They also shared a living, loving and strengthening God. It is in these ways that the Three Miller Boys remind me of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
The Three Miller Boys have been through, done it all and have seen many things throughout their lives. However, they are at this very moment facing a crisis like none other....the unimaginable....a life changing event. Without going into details, my Uncle Ben has come upon a major hurtle. He has been fighting a terminal illness for over two years and might actually be nearing the end of his battle. The Three Miller Boys need your prayers today. I love each one of them so very much and I just thought I would introduce you to the three of them today.
Please pray for my family.
