A TREE FALLS THROUGH A HOUSE…

My husband’s uncle lives in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware.
Last week there was a terrible storm. Amidst all the lightening and thunder our uncle and aunt were calm. She was safely in another part of their home, as he went up to their bedroom,
sat down in his favorite chair
and put on a pair of socks.

As he sat there, putting on the second sock, he heard what sounded like an explosion…

A 100-foot oak tree fell through the house and landed four-feet away from him.

Having had no time to react- or leap or jump or run, he was then sitting there,

in his favorite chair,

putting on a sock

with a 100-foot oak tree lying beside him.

… Can you imagine?

My father-in-law didn’t know anything about the storm, but called him a little while later to check in to see how his spirits were-

because he was going in the next morning for test results on his kidney cancer.

Our uncle said to my father-in-law,

“I’m not worried a bit about the tests, I just had a 100-foot tree fall through my bedroom, four-feet away from me. If God wanted to take me, he would have done it that way.”

The test results the next morning showed he is now… cancer-free.

I think there is a life lesson in here somewhere.
