When Pa James, who has been a faithful Christian was in the
hospital near death, the family called their preacher to stand with them. As
the preacher stood next to the bed, Pa James’ condition appeared to deteriorate
and he motioned frantically for something to write on. The pastor lovingly
handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Pa James used his last bit of energy
to scribble a note then suddenly died.
The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that
time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. At the funeral, as he was finishing
the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was
wearing when Pa James died. He said, "You know, Pa James handed me a note
just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing James, I'm sure there's
a word of inspiration there for us all." He opened the note, and read,
"Please step to your left, you're standing on my oxygen tube!"
