[I have been posting a CIW
every other day. Some folks have expressed a desire for a daily devotional
during this Covid19 pandemic, so on the “off” days, I’ll post a short
devotional, only half the length of a CIW, and aimed specifically at spiritual
awareness.]
Theda, my friend Lee’s
wife, just got worse and worse. All her physical systems were going bad. They
went to lots of specialists, to no avail. One day, she lost consciousness.
They lived in a small
town. Lee called their doctor in the city and asked what to do. The doctor had
Lee describe her symptoms.
“She’s dying, Lee. Nothing
we can do now. No point in calling the ambulance; she wouldn’t get half-way to
the hospital. You hold her hand, and I’ll hold yours.”
The doctor stayed on the
line with Lee, not saying anything, until Lee told him that Theda had taken her
last breath.
Lee told me, “I didn’t
tell him right away, because I didn’t want that moment to end. I had never felt
so close to God in my whole life.”
