A soft breeze was blowing off the lake as we joined other joggers and walkers on the boardwalk in northern Ontario. We were resting on a bench when a smiling man with a beautiful and unusual dog came by.
Bob’s large dog had long white hair and she wore a ponytail on top of her head. As we petted and admired Daisy, we found out that she was an English sheepdog. We also found out that Bob had just survived a heart attack. Then, as we talked, out of the blue, Bob asked us, “Are you guys Christians?”
If it had been you that he had asked, would you have responded: “Yes, I have accepted the Lord Jesus as my Savior and I know that He died on the cross to save me from my sins”? Or would you have answered, “No, I don’t personally know Jesus”?
Bob told us that he had just become a Christian a month before. His daughter had moved to India to live with a Christian family, and she had gotten saved. Next, her brother realized he needed the Lord and put his faith in Jesus, too. Finally, Bob became interested and went to visit them in India, and soon he trusted the Lord for his salvation, too. He told us the Lord had saved him twice: once from a heart attack, and second from a lost eternity.
We were so happy to tell Bob that we were followers of the Lord Jesus, too. We were also delighted that he was sharing the Lord with others.
