KEPT SAFE IN HIS ARMS

The evening was supposed to be a fun filled evening. A few young men were out on the town. This was the beginning of spring and spirits ran high.

Sometime during the course of the evening, two good friends got into an argument. Jim decided to leave his friends rather than continue arguing.

THAT DECISION SAVED HIS LIFE......................

Later in the evening, the remaining friends were murdered. Shot down by someone not from the area........a senseless shooting.........

One can only imagine the thoughts going through Jim's head. The emotions that he experienced. He was alive, his friends were dead. The last conversation with his best friend was an argument.

Time passed and Jim looked into his inner self and developed a deeper spiritual awareness.

He could never take back the argument that transpired between he and his friend before the senseless murders. He had to live with that.

Jim was by himself, driving a compact car when he was involved in a car accident. He was not wearing a seat belt. The car was totaled. Broken glass everywhere. No one could survive this type of accident.........................

When Jim was extracted from his crushed vehicle, not only was he alive, but he had very few injuries...................

SOMEONE HELD HIM AND SHIELDED HIM INSIDE THE CAR.................. He saw his friend in the car with him. He felt someone holding him as the vehicle was destroyed.

His friend kept him safe........the memory of their last words spoken in anger was replaced by the wondrous act of his friend who came to him, protected him in his time of crisis.

Why was he saved? Why was his friend murdered?

I do not know Jim. I met him briefly when he was at work and he noticed the Cross that I always wear. A casual conversation relating to his job took place and then he shared this story with me. There is more to the story and at a later time, I may be able to expand on it........but first, I hope to meet Jim again......................
