The purpose of this story is to let people know that GOD really cares for us and will take hold of our lives if we let him. Children, this story is true and my hope is that GOD will help me put it into words so that you will understand that the only limits that GOD has is the limits we put on him. My story starts June, 1966,I owned my own business on the outskirts of Charleston WV, was unmarried and in love with myself, owned a new home and drove a beautiful new 427 Corvette, had everything I thought. On this day I was working at my business, a service station and in pulled this old car that was having brake problems and as I walked behind the car I saw that they were from Ohio, Out of the car came an old man and an old woman with a baby in her arms and the prettiest girl. I instructed my employees to check out the brakes on their car and the girl and I started to talk, we talked for two hours, seemed like we knew each other. When the brakes were repaired on there car it was time for them to leave, I promised I would come to visit her in Ohio and as there car pulled away I saw her look back at me and a strange hurt hit me in my heart. In the next few weeks I received two letters from her but I got so busy with my life that a year had passed and I had not tried to contact her. One evening I came in from work, unlocked the front door, came in and looked toward the kitchen and there she was standing in my kitchen, I looked again and there was no one there, It was strange but I knew I was not losing my mind because I have had visions before but I walked to my bedroom and on the dresser was a letter she had written me a year ago. I don't know where it came from and my mind was starting to wonder so I decided to call her home in Ohio and her mother answered the phone, I asked to speak to the girl, told them who I was and her mother started to cry said her daughter died about eight months ago and mentioned your name and started reading her bible two weeks before she died. By now I didn't know which end was up, I didn't know it then but my life was going to change, I was going to meet the Lord, he was going to prove to me that he really exists. When I learned of her death I would go to her home in Ohio every weekend trying to figure out what was happening to me, I went every week for nine months and finally one day as her mother and I were talking she mentioned her daughters bible, that just before she died she wrote some things in her bible. I took her bible and turned to the page where her mother said she wrote some things, she wrote READ THIS and I read and I read, I was trying to understand what she was so intent on reading and I continued reading where she had marked READ THIS and I was so frustrated, I had seen her spirit in my kitchen and I knew there was a message in this strange thing that was happening to me but I did not understand it, I got on my knees with tears in my eyes, my heart was broken and I asked to please help me understand, because I had studied the word of GOD so much, looked in the Hebrew, Greek meaning and still didn't know what to think, But just as I finished praying my eyes were directed to the page number right above the words she wrote just before she died. The page number was 427. Now my license number on my car 427 and the emblem on the hood of my Corvette was 427 and she had been dead for almost a year and I just bought the Corvette. Buy this time in my life I was beginning to see that there was more to life than what I knew and I was starting to learn that there is more to us than meets the eye. GOD opened my eyes using the death of a girl ,the love of a car and to this day he still amazes me, buy the way the two letters she wrote me two weeks after we met, the zip-codes contain the numbers 427. Her death still afects me to this day but let me tell you that in a dream three years later GOD told me that intwo weeks I would meet a girl. Two weeks to the day a woman pulled into my driveway and out came a woman and a girl, the girl I married two weeks later, brought five children into the world and will be married thirty years May 17 and very happily. By the way the woman that brought my wife to me and introduced me to her was born 4-27 her son was born 4-27. Now the purpose of me sharing this with you children is not to limit GOD, trust him with your heart and soul, study the word of GOD as you would search for silver and gold and just because he shines his light on you and gives you knowledge and wisdom think not that we know it all . What I have learned up to now is that life is a miracle, to learn to love is a miracle and to learn to give is a miracle Submitted by PETE LEWIS
