Saved from Death again

This is not an April fool's joke. 

By the Grace of my Loving God, my life was spared once again. 
Monday morning I awoke at about 6:30 am as my bladder is wont to do. Normally I use a urinal but yesterday, I had to get up, and into my chair to take care of the pressing matter. 
Thank God I did. 

I had just transferred back on the bed when an electrical fire flared up where my space heater was plugged into an extension strip. It arced and the flame was about a foot straight up. I panicked and pulled the cord from the wall socket.
My heart was racing, and then I began thanking and praising God for his Tender Mercies.

Sunday night was not that cold, so I did not have the heater turned on. But, if I had been asleep, and the dirty clothes bag had fallen over on top of the extension strip, well we would be dead. I set about clearing away other things from electrical cords, sweeping up dog hair, and I called the landlord to send over an electrician to check things out.

Once again, by His Grace, the electrician replaced FOUR other outlets that were circa 1948 and posed additional threats. There was no rhyme nor reason why it arced and burned with me awake and alert. I shudder when I think if this had happened when I was away, or if something flammable was near by. Since this outlet was adjacent to the only door out of my bedroom, I could have been trapped in bed.

Over the years, I have walked the razor's edge that separates life and Abraham's Bosom. Infections have almost killed me six or seven times, but my life was spared.

I know that my Work on Earth is yet to be completed, that a purpose in my life is yet to be fulfilled. My Faith is much larger than a mustard seed. I have seen, participated in, and experienced Miracles that were Divine. Please, I beg you all to look into a mirror of your life and ask yourself, "If I were to die today, do I know where my Soul will take me." If you are not saved, if you do not have a personal relationship with your Creator God, please pray the sinner's prayer and start today a new life in Christ.

Any doubt that might keep you from making your decision today, is the Evil One, who rules his Earthly realm. The Devil is a liar, he wants your soul to be cast into the Lake of Fire. But, by choosing to accept Jesus Christ today, you are saved!
