One Day

One day. One day I was a soldier. One day I was a policeman. One day I was a fireman. One day I was a medic. One day I was a husband. One day I was a son. One day I was a father. One day. One day I was killed on duty. Killed by a terrorist. Killed by a bank robber. Killed by an arsonist. Killed by drunk driver. One day someone will be shocked One day it will be newsworthy. One day people may weep. One day someone will do something One day. © Dave Timperley April 2015

Message rings true and one day, if saved, we go to our promised reward. Every word and promise in the bible is true and shall come to pass. Super 7 on this one my friend.
