[分享]Termination

Termination ============ Several years ago, I worked in the C-band industry in Tulsa, Oklahoma. C-band is big dish satellite television. I was a customer service rep, when one night rather late, I got a phone call from a customer wanting to cancel service. Upon looking at the account, I noticed the customer had always paid on time and had expressed great joy with our service. Normally I would have just terminated the service and gone on to another call, but something in the caller's voice did not sound right. I asked him if there was something wrong with our service, had we made him angry or done something out of the ordinary to make him cancel service. He paused for a minute and then expressed that he had no idea why he was about to tell me what he was up to. His wife had run off with a younger man, leaving behind a husband and two children, two little girls, 6 and 9. He said he was canceling not just his TV service but all his services and utilities. He was planning to commit suicide. I often wondered why I was in that job, there really wasn't a challenge and the hours were terrible. But I took the time to hear the desperation in this man's voice, his reaching out when it seemed no one was listening. I spent about an hour on the phone with this man, I shared the love of our Lord and Savior with him. I reminded him of his two daughters, they were gifts from God and he was only feeling sorry for himself. I shared my story of how I had lost my first wife in an auto accident, leaving me with two babies, 3 and 5 years old. Sure it was hard, but the Lord met my needs and was there every step of the way. I placed a call to the minister of this young man and expressed my concerns and asked if the pastor would call him that night. He said he would, and he was glad I had called since he knew nothing of the problem. [B]I thank God that I was in the right place at the right time. I no longer ask why am I here. God knows where that next phone call will come from. [/B] This young man called me back about a month later and thanked me for taking a little time. He promised me he and the girls were fine, going to church, and putting their lives back together, with God at the controls. Written by MountainWings subscriber Larry Kimbrell [glow=255,red,2]文字
