How do you explain this?


September 6

 
He had come to Providence to help my dad repair the front porch but after a day Papa felt he had to go home.He didn't know why he just knew he had to leave. Dad drove ‘Papa’ to the bus station.

The next day the deadly hurricane of 1938 hit the R.I. coast. All the phone lines were down so dad drove to Tiverton to find the bridge to Portsmouth gone. He rented a boat. On Papa’s road all the houses were crushed or gone, except one. Papa had boarded up the windows and he, his blind wife and daughter rode out the vicious storm safely.

What had urged for my grandfather to return home? He didn’t ever try to explain it.

 
“Whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure without fear of evil.”(Proverbs 1:33)
