Whenever I visit Ted Winkler, I can only say it is another taste of heaven.
That was especially true last Sunday afternoon.
Five members of his family were there, and the place was filled with the honor due their father and grandfather.
I am amazed and thankful for the ease and clarity with Ted as he shared about any subject, and how his heart breaks for the fellow veterans who don’t have the family like he does, and cry out bitterly.
This adds to the blessing of another taste of heaven, when I asked Ted what I could pray for most, for him.
He said, “Nothing. God has blessed me and given me everything I ever asked for. I’m just thankful.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W O W ! ! !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I possibly expect to experience that from God in my life ?
I’m just thankful for Ted Winkler—his faith, his life, his testimony, his service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking in and out of the Temple VA Nursing Home, I said to several people, “Coming here teaches me to not complain.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
