Chapter 51 escape from death

Years ago, I was testifying in a lawsuit where my emotions were high and my mind was full of trouble.On the way home after the case was over, I suddenly fell ill. It was an extremely serious heart attack. Illness and nervousness left me almost breathless.As soon as I got home, the doctor gave me an injection. Before I lay down on the bed, I struggled to lean on the sofa in the living room and couldn't walk anymore. When I woke up from the coma, I found that the parish priest was preparing for my final baptism. Seeing the sadness on the faces of my family members, I knew my final moments were coming.I also discovered that the doctor had prepared my wife for the possibility that I would die within twenty or thirty minutes.My heart was so weak that the doctor warned me not to speak or even lift a finger.

I'm not a saint, but I've learned one thing - don't argue with God.So I closed my eyes and said to myself: "What should come will come." With this thought, my mind and body seemed to relax completely, and my fear completely disappeared.I can even calmly ask myself, could anything worse be happening?At worst, there would be a convulsion of the heart, severe pain for a while, and then death.I imagined how I would meet God in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but after waiting for an hour, the pain gradually disappeared.So, I started to ask myself, if I could continue to live, what would I do with my life.I will work hard to regain my health, never to destroy myself with tension and worry, and to rebuild my strength.

This was already four years ago.Now my health is recovering very quickly and even doctors are raving about my progress.I no longer worry, and I have a new understanding of life.I thought, if I had never struggled on the death line and never pursued progress, I am afraid that I would have passed away long ago, and would have died under my own fear and panic.
