166 ~ 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 their child, I'm sure you would say the same.

However, as horrible as this day was, it marked the beginning of many one-day experiences that would start 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 Todd's death.

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 on the most horrible day of your life, God can use it to bring something positive out of it.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
