An Amazing Faith

"You have an amazing faith!"...
"No, I have an amazing God who has provided heaven and eternal life for His own."~me

Conversation yesterday w/my "new" dentist here in ColoSpgs. Had never met him but he walked in, shook my hand, and said my name correctly: pronounced "bear." I said to him smiling, "I'm impressed! Usually, I'm a "bore!" ...He said, "Are you Cedric Boehr's wife?" ...I said, "Yes, but he was killed about a year ago." ...He said, "I was just with someone that he worked with recently, and they told me about your husband. I'm so sorry." (And then he pulled his stool around and asked more questions of me about the accident). I told him that it was an awful accident and how it happened and how I heard the ambulances & first responders go screaming by our home not knowing they were going to help Cedric. And, then I told him how Cedric almost avoided the man careening across the road...he was about 10-12inches short of avoiding the gentleman when his body was sideswiped and the motorcycle he was on was laid over with him next to it.

....the dentist asked details, and listened carefully. I later thought if dentistry didn't work out, he could put a "shingle" out for counseling! :)))

....Anyway, I didn't want to end the conversation w/just the details of the accident. So, the Lord gave the opportunity ~ like He does (!) to bring the conversation to a place where He is given glory. And, I shared how "not even a little sparrow falls, but God knows, and how much more He cares for His own;" certainly, Cedric was one of His own, passing from this life to eternal life. This is my true and living hope.

..."You have an amazing faith! ~ my dentist ..."No, I have an amazing God who has provided heaven and eternal life for His own, and I trust Him...even w/my husband whom I so loved. "~me

...And I left the office and wept. The Lord is with me and truly with each of His own.
