Life has a way of taking us through a reality check just when
we start to feel comfortable.
This is a true story that happened in Yaounde last week.
Tina (not her real name), was getting set for her upcoming wedding in November 09.
No detail was left unattended. Her bridesmaids gowns needed some extra buttons and
she reckoned a quick dash into town (a few minutes away), probably didn't warrant
an announcement to her family. The journey to, was uneventful. She quickly found
what she was looking for and headed back to the park. This driver already had a
full load and was about to kick off when one of his passengers indicated she had
to step down and answer an important call. That is how Tina found herself in the
car. Without warning, the motor bike running ahead of their car, fell down for no
apparent reason. A truck was coming from the other direction and the driver swerved
the car out of his lane, in a bid to avoid crushing the motor bike man and his lady
passenger. The lady was killed on the spot, and the rider lost one of his legs.
The truck driver had now lost complete control. Tina's car was crushed beyond
recognition and a bus directly behind their car was also damaged. In total, about
16 people died on the spot, including all in Tina's car, the lady on the bike and
about 9 in the bus...
Though I grieve, I take solace in the fact that Tina had made peace with her
master and savior, Jesus. At her funeral others testified of a life full of peace,
gentleness and true commitment..
The world is gearing up for the celebration of Christmas ( and some would like
to insist we use the politically correct name – holiday seasons!) come December.
Businesses are unveiling their Christmas season wares and you're probably making
all sorts of plans, for December ( -In fact I am scheduled to be best man for my
friend Kenny's wedding and MC for another!). Truth is, God alone can tell how
tomorrow's going to look like and if you are going to be needed in His script.
Have you made peace with the master? Is your life 'buried' in Jesus?
You can buy life Insurance here but eternal insurance and assurance can only
come from calling on Jesus to be the Lord and master of your life.
You can do that today, while there is grace.
Peace
