A friend and I were visiting another friend in hospice . . . the last hours of her life.
A woman stopped my friend in the hall.
"Are you saved?"
How rude. How inappropriate. Couldn't she see we were grieving?
Well, in fact, she probably "didn't" see.
I've pondered that situation off and on. It seems so inappropriate to barge into such a tender time. But, the tender time was death and all about eternity. Maybe it was a most appropriate time . . .?
I've PREdetermined my answer, should I be asked,
"Are you saved?"
With all sincerity, my response will be,
"I am. Thank you for asking."
