Escaped Death

So far I have escaped death twice in my life. Once, when. I had hired a motorcycle at a village to reach the railway station 17 kms away. The motorcycle collided head on with a speeding truck coming from opposite side And, the second time, when on my way back home by train from a city, I suddenly decided to change the compartment I was sitting in.I was sitting comfortably, but suddenly decided to change my compartment at the first stopage of the train. A few kms from the first stopage there is a bridge across a river. When the train was passing from the bridge , the bridge collapsed and the compartment I was sitting in before fell into the river. Another compartment also fell in the river. Many persons died. People from nearby villages rushed to help and save the surviving ones. I was shocked. I saw dead bodies of passengers lying on the river bank. If I had not decided to change my compartment, I would have been one of them.

I'm glad you survived both accidents. I almost drowned once when swimming in a river with friends. One friend pulled me out and gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and saved my life. Another time, one of my brothers kept picking me up and squeezing me as hard as he could to make me scream for help. He squeezed me so hard that he caused my appendix to rupture. I had to have emergency surgery to remove my appendix. I was in the hospital for over a week after the operation.

I'm so glad you survived. Such things often hap pen and sometimes someone saved us Is is just a coincidence?? If it is, then such coincidences show that God wants us to survive I wish you stay safe. I think we are always in danger. While walking we may be hit by a car, an earthquake may took place, we even due of a heartattack. Anything may happen anytime If we are alive, it means God is keeping us alive. Thank you, my friend. Wish you a long, happy life.

I have been unable to understand why I suddenly decided to change the compartment. Perhaps God didn't want me to die.
