JUST IN TIME

When Corrie ten Boom was a girl, her first realization of death came after a visit to the home of a neighbor who had died. Suddenly it occurred to her that someday her parents would die. The idea upset her.

"Corrie," her father comforted her, "when you and I go to Amsterdam, when do I give you your ticket?"

"Why, just before we get on the train," she said.

"Exactly," her father replied. "And our wise Father in heaven knows exactly when we're going to need things, too. Don't run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When our death comes, you will look into your heart and find the strength that you need -- just in time."
