I was preparing for Christmas and walked into the kitchen, Christmas cards in hand to show my husband Tomas. I shared with him the card I had for his sister and he was pleased. He sat at the kitchen table, looking so calm and peaceful with a beautiful glow on his face as I put my arms around him and hugged him.
Just then, the phone rang in the living room. I went to answer it and shortly afterwards, Tomas walked slowly to the door saying he needed to go to the hospital. Within a split second of turning my head to hang up the phone, Tomas had been supernaturally transported beyond what my eyes could see.I ran from the front door to the veranda and saw Tomas on the far side of the driveway close to my neighbor’s property. I was baffled, but realized later Tomas was suffering from a massive heart attack. The Good Lord was watching over Tomas preventing him from falling down the large cement steps which had norailing. I watched in awe as Tomas bent his knees and gently laid his head on the driveway, as though somebody was helping him.
I was battling cancer at the time, the Lord gave me strengthas I ran to Tomas and heard him say, “Called Cindy.” I could not speak, but our neighbour Cindy ran to us from next door, sat her child beside me and ran to call an ambulance. She and another neighbor picked up some coats to keep Tomas warm.
Many people extended their love and prayers towards us. The officer arranged with Cindy our neighbor, to call the ambulance and the family which just the day before, I felt compelled to put children’s phone number on the refrigerator door-I silently thanked the Lord. The officer drove me to the hospital and was very supportive and understanding.
I arrived at the hospital alone to hear the devastating and shocking news that my husband had passed away while my dear children were atwork. It was a very trying and emotional time but the Lord was with me and covered me with His love and peace. I had to give this to Him as I was battling cancerat the time. My precious children were very shocked and emotional but God covered with His love and peace as well. Many people prayed for my family that day, “Thank God”.
As I was standing beside my husband’s body, the Lord suddenly gave me a vision of the word, “Give”. I said to the nurse standing by, “I want to give all of my husband’s organs”. The nurse replied, “Due to the heart attack, we may be able to remove only the cornea from his eyes”. Immediately, I looked at my husband’s face as though I was looking for his approval. At that precise moment, I saw one of his eyes open and close, as though he was winking at meand saying: “I agree-go for it” . My heart chuckled at such a scene. It was God’s perfect timing, assuring me and my family to go for it.
Two days before Christmas, the Eye Bank called me, and later sent me a letter confirming that the transplant was successful. A woman who had been blind for ten years had now received her eyesight- the gift from Tomas.That is exactly what my husband would have wanted, fulfilling the meaning ofChristmas, as he would have often travelled for miles to help another person in need.
Tomas once shared a very interesting story with me, I’ll never forget. One Easter Sunday morning, he had been walking down the street suffering from a very bad back pain, having great difficulty walking. He noticed a paper crown sitting on the sidewalk, probably dropped from a child coming from Sunday School.Tomas noticed it represented the crown of thorns that Jesus wore on His head. Tomas tried painfully to avoid from stepping on the crown, as he honored and respected its meaning. As a result, his back was instantly healed! Later, Tomas took a Bible course at Canada Christian College in Torontoand did extremely well. He also loved to sketch and drew some beautiful Bible sketches related to his course.
Tomas held a deep faith in God and often attended church with his family. He was a person of honor, Customs Canada was pleased always to receive Tomas’ work, which was always up to par. He had a great sense of humorthat everyone loved, making many people laugh, including his family. |
