Subject: Stunning Testimony

God is so Wonderful!

A man from Norfolk, VA called a local radio station to share this on

Sept 11th, 2003, TWO YEARS AFTER THE TRAGEDIES OF 9/11/2001.

  

  His name was s. These are his words:

  A few weeks before Sept. 11th, my wife and I found out we were going

To have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her

Sister.

On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a

Safe trip and be with her. Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a

Loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire. I replaced

the  tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her flight.both very upset,

we drove home.

I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked what

My wife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed that flight.

My father informed me that her flight was the one that crashed into The southern

tower.

I was too shocked to speak. My father also had more news for me; he

Was going to help. 'This is not something I can't just sit by for; I have to

Do something.'

I was concerned for his safety, of course, but more because he had

Never given his life to Christ. After a brief debate, I knew his mind was made

up.

Before he got off of the phone, he said, 'take good care of my Grandchild. Those

were the last words I ever heard my father say; he died while helping in the

rescue effort.

My joy that my prayer of safety for my wife had been answered quickly

Became anger. I was angry at God, at my father, and at myself. I had gone

for  nearly two years blaming God for taking my father away. My son would never

know  his grandfather, my father had never accepted Christ, and I never got to

say good-bye.

Then something happened. About two months ago, I was sitting at home

With my wife and my son, when there was a knock on the door. I looked at

my wife, but I could tell she wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door to a

couple with a small child. The man looked at me and asked if my father's name

was Jake s.  I told him it was. He quickly grabbed my hand and said, 'I

never got the chance to meet your father, but it is an honor to meet his son.'

He explained to me that his wife had worked in the World Trade Center

And had been caught inside after the attack. She was pregnant and had been

caught under debris. He then explained that my father had been the one to find

his  wife and free her. My eyes welled up with tears as I thought of my father

giving his  life for people like this. He then said, 'there is something else

you need to know.' His wife then told me that as my father worked to free her,

she talked  to him and led him to Christ. I began sobbing at the news.

Now I know that when I  get to Heaven, my father will be standing beside Jesus

to welcome me, and  that this family would be able to thank him themselves. When

their baby boy was  born, they named him , in honor of the man who

gave his life so that a mother and baby could live.

This story should help us to realize this: God is always in control.

We may not see the reason behind things, and we may never know this side of

heaven, but God is ALWAYS in control. Please take time to share this amazing

story. You may never know the impact it may have on someone. God doesn't call

the  qualified, He qualifies the called.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures Forever.  --

Psalm 136:1

  

GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME
