A despondent woman tried to kill herself

by jumping off a bridge into a South Carolina river several weeks ago, according to news reports. A game warden happened to be nearby, went into the water, and pulled her out: saving her life.

Last Wednesday afternoon, a traffic accident at that same bridge sent a pickup truck into the river, trapping the driver. A passer-by went into the water, pulled out the driver, and performed CPR until the paramedics arrived, saving the man’s life.

His rescuer turned out to be the same woman who had apparently tried to end her own life at that very spot weeks earlier.


Life is precious
and every one of us
always has an opportunity
somehow
to make a positive difference in the lives of others,
sometimes very quietly,
such as through intercessory prayer,
sometimes quite dramatically.

Pass it on.
