It was a little after twelve in the afternoon on a Sunday at my father-in-law’s, it was his birthday, and he was busy cooking up his self-proclaimed famous brisket. My wife was inside finishing up the potato salad while I was occupied helping my uncle with the TV.  The food was about ready so all of the kids rushed outside with their grandma and grandpa.

Now let me just say, we are the type to never let our children out of our eyesight and at the risk of causing more pain, what happened, happened. I’ve always heard of horrific accidents in other families but NEVER would I have thought it could happen to us.

I collapsed down in front of the scene. At first, I had the most natural reaction, a denial of impending doom for my son.

Suddenly, an indescribable peace came over me, now I can’t tell you why I did what I did, but these words poured from my lips,

Praising God

“Thank you, Father God for giving him back to us!” 

I was claiming victory! But at the same time, my earthly self-was asking, “What are you saying, he’s dead and your thanking God?” 

 Once More, “Thank you Father God for breathing your breath of life into him in Jesus name!”

It was at that moment Noah gasped for air. It was if God was showing me, “do you see, I’ve been here this whole time?”

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior and to yield back the life given to me by You, back to You. Take Control of my life Lord, and let only your will be done in my life from now on. Amen.”
