Thank you for sharing this story. When I returned to the Lord in my late 20s, all I wanted was to tell my parents and brother about Jesus too, to have them know Him like I did. Its been a journey, but they have responded in measure which I'm grateful for. Your story reminds me to keep trying with my dad who has been the hardest case. God has used that incident to work in you and I'm sure it has blessed many. May God continue to heal your heart and bring you peace.
