One-Day

by Kay Heitsch

I've had a few one-day experiences that have changed my life forever.

I would have to say the worst one-day experience that changed my life forever was the death of our son, Todd. If anyone has ever gone through the death of your child, I'm sure you would say the same.

However, as horrible as this day was, it was the beginning of many one-day experiences that started to change my life for the better.

I don't believe for one second that my life would have changed for the better had I not had another one-day experience. It was on this day that I gave Todd and myself over to the LORD. On this day, I asked the LORD to use Todd's death for something positive, and if it was His will to use me, I was available.

One-day after another, the LORD used Todd's death and me to bring many positive things out of it.

I love this Bible verse. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28

Was Todd's death good? No, but God used his death to bring good out of it after I turned it over to Him.

One-day can change your life! Even the most horrible day of your life can be used to bring something positive out of it.
