Prodigal:  Do you have a story.

This is from the book Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson

Corrie ten Boom helped hide Jews during WWII in Holland when she herself was put into a camp. Her sister died in that camp.  After the war, Corrie began a new career, opening homes for people who had been damaged by brutal treatment during the war, places where they could heal their bodies and minds.  To support her homes, she went around the world giving lectures.  It was not until 1959, however, that Corrie discovered the most significant “invisible intervention”  she had received.  She was revisiting Ravensbrueck as part of a pilgrimage honoring the ninety-six thousand woman who died there, when she learned that her own release had been result of a “clerical error.”  A week after she’d been granted freedom, all the women prisoners her age had been taken to the gas chambers.

And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

Hebrews 8:11
