Description

Coincidence? Or God? You Decide is a collection of episodes the author’s family and friends experienced.
These stories take place in Mexico as well as the United States. In each story, you will find a fascinating and sometimes life-threatening situation, such as a nine-passenger, six-door Excursion traveling sixty miles an hour on the icy Arkansas River Bridge railing in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Read what happened to the nine fathers in this vehicle. Decide for yourself if God or luck was with them. Then, there is the girl whose foot was mangled in a packing plant accident, or the family who was marvelously saved when the train bridge over the San Rafael River collapsed and the center portion of the train they had been in, fell into the river.
In this book you will meet a man who gave his home to a poor family; and a little boy who lost his father’s best knife in a lake. His mother prayed, and moments later the boy’s brother caught a fish with the knife in its mouth. Did that just happen? You decide.
In the days before cell phones, see what happened to a fifteen-year-old boy stranded at Love’s Truck Stop in Gallup, New Mexico, 700 miles from home. You will live through a tornado with the Hightower family in Neosho, Missouri, and shiver with Dofia Margarita sitting on her house top during a long night. You will bake with the Children’s Christmas Project and learn how much they earned for the Huruma Orphanage in Kenya, Africa, and shout when a man gives Charlotte $500 for a basket of homemade bread.
While swimming on the Baja California coast, you will struggle with Tim against a strong undercurrent that was dragging him out into the Pacific Ocean. Will Tim see his family again?
Were the persons in danger accidentally saved, or did the power and love of God assist them? The author wants you to decide.
Both blessings and difficulties will swirl around us as we walk through life. Romans 8:28 says, “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.”
Psalms 139:17 How precious are thy thoughts toward unto me, O God! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand.”

About the Author
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged to a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as far that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back

I should be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ---
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
PREFACE
I am often asked, “What motivated you to publish books?”
You who have read my other books know that I and my husband, James, were missionaries in Mexico. When James’ health began failing, we relocated near our adult children. He soon regained his health, then we worked several years with The American Hispanic Mission in, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After we stopped working there, one day I asked God to give me something from the Bible that would show me what I should be doing for Him. When I opened my Bible, my eyes fell on Psalms 78:4-7,
“…shewing to the generations to come the praises of the Lord and His strength, and His wonderful works that He hath done. …which He commanded to our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children who should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children, that they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.”
God helped me understand, that I must make known His wonders to the generations to come, and the way to do that was to write and publish books. I thought writing a book was impossible. However, I did have a great desire to share with others the wonderful things God had done in my lifetime, so I began writing. Later while confronting many problems, I became discouraged and thought maybe I had misunderstood God. Again, when I was praying for guidance, I opened my Bible and my eyes fell on Psalm 71:17-19:
“O God, thou hath taught me from my youth: And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength to this generation, and thy power to everyone who is to come.”
The thought came again; you must write so the generations to come will have in their hands a copy of the wonderful things God has done . I thought I was too old to start a book, but I relied on my mother’s favorite verse, Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,”
The following year I published my first book, MABEL, a Demonstration of the Power of God’s Word . Now, Coincidence? Or God? You Decide is my seventh book. (Three of my books have been translated into the Spanish language.) God is still reminding me of more miracles He has done in my lifetime.
I pray God will help the stories shared in these books to inspire readers. May they be a reminder that the incidents in each life are never coincidental. They are all part of God’s plan to get us and those around us to Heaven.
My other books are listed in the back of this book.

FOREWORD
“Coincidence or God?” will come to mind in the events of our lives from this day forward. The personal experiences shared by this author remind us of experiences we have faced. Were they just coincidental or were they allowed by a Higher Being whose priority is preparing us for Heaven? Our blessings and our difficulties, when viewed as “Coincidence or God?” suddenly have a deeper meaning in our lives. We will readily give Him thanks for each blessing and seek guidance in each difficulty. We will no longer be merely victims of circumstances. There is now no such thing as being lucky or unlucky as we sail down the rapids of life like a boat without a rudder.
Some of the stories in this book are almost beyond comprehension. Being personally acquainted with the author and many of the characters, I attest to the integrity of these life experiences and testimonies.
This book is fascinating to share in family devotions, opening many teaching opportunities. The title alone will remind us in future experiences to always recognize the hand of our Heavenly Father in our lives. Coincidence or God? You decide.
Thank you, Charlotte Huskey, for this pivotal reminder.

THE LOST KNIFE

“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I w ill answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” — Isaiah 65:24 KJV
“W hy haven’t you picked up those tools you left scattered on the patio? And must you save every stick in the neighborhood to make those dusty pigeons a roost?” James Bell, the youngest of 3 sons, trembled at the sound of his daddy’s demanding voice. He loved his pigeons and was always trying to fix them a nicer home. He feared his daddy would make him get rid of them. “Get moving! Don’t just stand there. It should only take you five minutes!”
Daddy, Joe Bell, ran the Bell Furniture Store in the morning then went to his evening job at McDonald Douglas helping make airplane parts. Their home was in view of the furniture store so he expected his home to look the best in the neighborhood. He wanted the newest car, the nicest house, and the best-behaved children that portrayed his image of perfection, and he expected his three sons to do their part making this happen.
Mama prayed every day for a quiet and peaceful home that was filled with love and kindness. She helped in the furniture store, kept a clean, orderly home, and cooked the best food in the county. Her biggest challenge was getting the boys to do what daddy expected of them so that he would be happy when he came home.
One day they had a fishing trip planned. “Get your fishing gear ready,” Mama said to her sons, as she was frying chicken for their lunch the following day. “We are leaving early in the morning, and the boat must have all the fishing poles and life jackets packed in place. It’s going to be a great day for fishing at Lake Tenkiller. It is one of the prettiest lakes in Oklahoma, and the water is deep and clean.”
“I have some new lures I bought with my birthday money. I think we’ll really catch some big fish,” James said to Michael, his brother.
There were two things everyone in Joe Bell’s family loved—one was Mama’s delicious meals and the other was fishing. They loved fishing off the bank of a pond, a river, or a lake; but to be fishing from a boat was much more exciting. One of their favorite lakes was Lake Tenkiller in Green Country. The lake was about 75 miles away. The 1963 Chevy
