One day my boss Ray and I were speaking as we always did, he was always in great health and always thought he could manage all things in his life because he had control. He owned the largest construction company known in the world. I always spoke to him as  did others on the job when I had time to share. I shared Gods words and how gracious God was for His gift, how God expected certain things from people who claimed they where followers of God.
           One night in my sleep I dreamed I needed to speak to Ray, it was about his life style and journey. The next day I went to the office, walked in said hello and asked Ray if we could speak.  I began to share with him the wonderful joys of knowing Gods’ grace and how forgiving He was to those who accept Him and His gift of Jesus and those who demonstrate by change in their life and follow Him. Ray told me he was too busy to speak but would talk later at lunch. At lunch Ray and I saw each other and I began to ask him about what he believed, he told me he was to busy and that he had a head ache and we could speak later about it. The end of the day I walked over to the construction office and asked Ray if we could have a serious talk.  As I shared with him about Gods’ love he told me he understood and that he was in good health, had everything he needed and that he knew God. He told me he did not think he had to accept Him or ask Him into his heart but that he would think about it and get back to me the next day.
           The next day when we all came into work I was met by crying eyes and hearts that where hurt.  That night when Ray went home he wasn't feeling well, he had a heart attack and died.
          I often wonder why God does what He does in His own time. I always wondered why Ray never accepted Gods’ love when God tried so hard to show him, knowing what Ray and I did not know. Gods timing is never our time. I learned at that time, that day we must always be prepared and just saying we know Jesus or we are believers does not make us a true believer. I learned it is in our life style and actions that we prove to God who we really are and all the world will know us by our life.
           I did get to help is family come to know Jesus
