Overcome Fear of Death
Evie was a nurse practitioner trainer. Her work took her to a peninsula in Alaska where she would sometimes be on the road up to ten days training others to be nurse practitioners. Her home base was a hospital not far from her home.
After working three days straight at this hospital with only a few catnaps along the way, she was completely exhausted. Kathy, a friend from the hospital, invited her to have a restful day the next day by coming to her house where she would have a picnic prepared and they would go to the beach and relax. Evie thought this sounded good, so the next morning she showed up at Kathy’s house.
But when she arrived, Kathy was in the middle of canning many cases of peaches. Her husband is a truck driver and he had brought them on his way through to his next destination. They were very ripe and had to be canned that day.
Kathy encouraged Evie to take the picnic she had prepared and go to the beach. Evie felt in her heart that this would be okay, but opted instead to help her friend can peaches. They canned all day and into the evening.
Now Evie was excruciatingly exhausted. There were just a few peaches left over as they finished. Kathy stuck the remaining peaches in a bag for Evie to take with her. One of them struck Evie because it was so freshthat it had a beautiful little branch with a shiny green leaf still attached. She realized that she had seen many brown leaves in the boxes of peaches but this was the only leaf that still looked vibrant and fresh. She thankfully took the peaches and headed home.
As she drove, she came to the point in the road where she could go right to go home or continue striaght across the bridge to the hospital. For some unexplainable reason, she felt led to go to the hospital. Yet she knew that whether she chose to go or not it was okay. It was a hard decision since she was so exhausted.
From the moment she decided to follow the nudging to cross the bridge, Evie said she was not really even aware of what she was doing; she was just going with the flow.
Since it was late in the evening when she got to the hospital, she had to ring the bell and wait to be admitted. With her bag of peaches in hand, she walked to the room of a dying patient and took from the bag the perfect peach with the branch and shiny green leaf. She held it up and looked at the family members. The family members were stunned. “First there was a look of disbelief, then it quickly changed to fear,” she told me.
One of the family asked her what she was doing there. “I don’t know,” was her confused reply.
It turned out that the final wish of the dying woman had been to smell and feel a peach one last time. The family had spent the entire day scouring this peninsula in Alaska to find a fresh peach and had come up empty-handed. Discouraged they had returned to their mother’s bedside.
Now, here was the gift, directly from God, to his beloved daughter, Else, through an exhausted nurse practitioner. Else breathed in the sweet scent of peach and felt it’s fuzzy texture, then continued on her journey toward her heavenly home knowing her every desire was important to her Lord.
