I
was driving to the grocery store just hinking of everything on
my list to do today. Taking the kids to
soccer practice, cleaning the house, getting
groceries, getting the oil changed in the car, the list went
on and on!
I was feeling overwhelmed and was already tired
before I had even gotten started.
On my way to the store I saw something horrible
happen, a train had run into a car that was crossing
the tracks. I thought
"Oh no! This is horrible, there is no way the driver of
that car could have
lived!!"
I was the closest car to the tracks so I put my
car in park and got out. I ran over to the car and looked
in
and
could not believe what I was seeing.
Tears came to my eyes and I just couldn't take
it. Inside the car was a woman driving that was
obviously dead. In the
backseat was a baby in it's car seat bleeding everywhere
and next to the baby
was a little girl
who I guessed to be about 4 years old and she
was bleeding also. Just then the little
girl spoke. She said,
"Is my mommy and baby sister
okay?"
I just looked at her and said, "Honey I don't
know. There is a doctor on his way right
now."
Just then the little girl started crying saying,
"Don't take my mommy and my baby sister.
Take me with you too!!
Please!!"
She was pleading at who knows what to take her -
but take her where??? I asked the little girl who she
was
talking to and she said, "Don't you see? That Angel is
taking my mommy and my baby sister! I
want to go
with them too! My mommy is waving goodbye to me and she
is holding my baby sister and she is smiling!"
The
little girl started to cry because she did not want to stay,
she wanted to go with her mommy and her
baby sister. I felt so sorry for her. I
didn't believe in God and I thought to myself, where did an
Angel come from?
What kind of God would take a mommy and a baby
but not the little sister? At that moment I saw the
little girl start to
smile so big as she held her arms out to something,
someone to pick her up.
I
thought to myself that she must be delirious and maybe
she is hurt worse than I thought.
Just then the
little girl closed her eyes and slumped over in her
seat.
She was dead!
I couldn't be sad even though this was a
4-year-old little girl that had just died. You wouldn't
be sad
either if you could see
that beautiful smile on her face!
I
guess her mommy and baby sister came back to get her.
That was also the day that God came to
get me ~ as that was
the day that I became a believer and turned my life over
to the Living God.
