Annie talked with Steve today. He works for one her company’s sub-contractors. They talked about what’s going on in the world and how wonderful Heaven’s going to be. She told him about the book, “Imagine Heaven” that she’s reading and how incredible and timely it is that God brought it to us. Ann told Steve it’s going to be so much fun in Heaven as we all share what God did in our lives while on earth. Steve said, “I don’t have any stories…”
Then, Steve told Ann… Years ago, a little girl was in the hospital dying. She was scared. No one in her family knew Jesus. Her mom called Steve’s Pastor, “We’ve never been to church, but our little girl is dying. The Doctors said she won’t make it through the night. She’s really scared. Can you come to the hospital?” Of course the Pastor drove to the hospital and sat with the little girl. He told her about Jesus and his love for her and her family. The little girl made it through the night.
The next day the doctors were dismayed. Her vital signs had changed – she went home a couple days later. The cancer was gone. The next weekend the whole family was in church. They all got saved. Steve played the drums and the little girl loved to stand close and watch him play.
A few months went by – the cancer came back – the Pastor again sat with the little girl in the hospital. But this time she wasn’t scared. She sat up in bed, “Pastor Richard! Do you see them?! The Angels are here!” and she stepped into eternity. The family is looking forward to a joyous reunion together in Heaven. So is Steve.
We all have stories…
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
