What Do You Think...
In December 2000, I received a late night-early morning call, the kind you fear.
The call informed me that my father had suffered a stroke and had been rushed
to the hospital, which was one hour away from my family and me. So I loaded
my pregnant wife and children in the SUV (because the children were too small
to stay at home alone) and away we went.
During the months that my father was hospitalized, we were informed that he
would not be able to live independently again. He wanted to live with my family,
which meant that we would need more space and have the house handicap
accessible. Further, as he became more conversational, he would often tell my
wife and I that she was going to have a boy – despite the fact that she had taken
three sonograms that confirmed we were having a girl. We contributed my
father’s belief in what he was saying to the heavy medication he was under.
My wife and I made the decision to sell our home and buy a larger one. Our
house sold faster than we anticipated – which was good – but we didn’t have a
new home yet. Our search resulted in three houses, two for which we would
settle and one that we really liked because it would better accommodate my
father’s needs. The one we really liked would be difficult to obtain because it
was already under contract and would require a little more money for down
payment than we had. Remembering John 14:13, I would always write the
address of the house that we really wanted on the back of the envelope when
we would pay tithes in church on Sundays.
Well, sadly, my father passed in February 2001. Three days after his funeral, our
son was born. A few weeks later, we moved into the house that would have
better accommodated my father’s needs – the one we really wanted.
Was all of this coincidental? Or was my father a vessel, whispering a message
from a ministering spirit and being the center of His plan to secure our work for
the predestined outcome? Was this luck or faith? I know what I believe. What
do you think?
