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."
