My mom informed me of yet another cool Eric story. Apparently a woman who's husband helps my dad out in his business told them this story. Shirley works at the hospital that Eric was rushed to. The staff there had to create a sterile environment. While they were doing this they heard Eric singing praises to God. I thought that the only place that he did that was at the plant but he was still singing at the hospital. Just the thought of this makes me shake in awe-seriously. I mean imagine. What wonders was he seeing? What was that like? Wow.
The next day when they found out that Eric had died one of the women that had helped make the sterile environment came to Shirley and said "please tell me that young man is in heaven." To which Shirley replied "I can tell you with absolute certainty that he IS in heaven." Then she was able to share the gospel with this woman.
I am amazed how God used Eric as his witness up until the very end and beyond. I hope that this true story makes you stand in awe of our great and mighty God. I know that it does for me. It also reassures me that God is so good and will use all things for his glory. I love you Jesus.
