911 story God is God!

An Awesome 9-11 StoryA man from Norfolk , VA
He called a local radio station to share this on Sept 11th, 2003 . His Name was Robert Matthews.
These are his words:
"A few weeks before Sept. 11th, my wife and I found out we were going tohave our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit hersister.
On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife asafe trip and be with her.
Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a loud pop and the car shookviolently. We had blown out a tire.
I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed herflight. Both very upset, we drove home.
I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked what mywife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed the flight. Myfather informed me that her flight was the one that crashed into thesouthern tower.
I was too shocked to speak.
My father also had more news for me; he was going to help. 'This isnot something I can just sit by for; I have to do something.'
I was concerned for his safety, of course, but more because he hadnever given his life to Christ. After a brief debate, I knew his mindwas madeup. Before he got off of the phone, he said, 'take good care of mygrandchild.'
Those were the last words I ever heard my father say; he died whilehelping in the rescue effort.
My joy that my prayer of safety for my wife had been answered quicklybecame anger. I was angry at God, at my father, and at myself.
I had gone for nearly two years blaming God for taking my father away.My son would never know his grandfather, my father had never acceptedChrist, and I never got to say goodbye Then something happened.
About two months ago, I was sitting at home with my wife and my son,when there was a knock on the door. I looked at my wife, but I couldtell she wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door to a couple with asmall child.
The man looked at me and asked if my father's name was Jake Matthews. Itold him it was. He quickly grabbed my hand and said, 'I never got thechance to meet your father, but it is an honor to meet his son.'
He explained to me that his wife had worked in the World Trade Center and had been caught inside after the attack. She was pregnant and hadbeen caught under debris. He then explained that my father had beenthe one to find his wife and free her.
My eyes welled up with tears as I thought of my father giving his lifefor people like this. He then said, 'there is something else you needto know.'
His wife then told me that as my father worked to free her, she talkedto him and lead him to Christ.
I began sobbing at the news. Now I know that when I get to heaven, myfather will be standing beside Jesus to welcome me, and that thisfamily would be able to thank him themselves.
When their baby boy was born, they named him Jacob Matthew in honor ofthe man who gave his life so mother and baby could live."
This story should help us to realize two things:First - that though it has been three years since the attacks, we shouldnever let it become a mere tragic memory. And second - but mostimportant- God is always in control. We may not see the reason behind things,and we may never know this side of heaven, but God is ALWAYS incontrol.
Please take time to share this amazing story with those you love. Youmay never know the impact it may have on someone. God doesn't call thequalified, He qualifies the call.
