In my Father's keeping

"Father, what is sex?"

.. He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise, he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his traveling case from the rack over our heads, and set it on the floor.

"Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?" he said.

I stood up and tugged at it...
"It's too heavy," I said.

"Yes," he said. "And it would be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a load. It's the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger, you can bear it. For now, you must trust me to carry it for you."

And I was satisfied. More than satisfied -- wonderfully at peace. There were answers to this and all my hard questions -- for now, I was content to leave them in my father's keeping.

Just in time

...Death had only been a word. Now I knew it could really happen - if to the baby, then to Mama, Father, to ...!

...That night as Father stepped through the door, I burst into tears, "I need you!" I sobbed. "You can't die! You can't!"

...Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. "Corrie," he began gently, "when you and I go to Amsterdam -- when do I give you your ticket?"

I sniffed a few times, considering this.
"Why, just before we get on the train."

"Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things, too. Don't run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need -- just in time."
