It was a regular Monday evening at the Deupree House senior living facility in Cincinnati. Hamburgers were on the menu, and the dining room was full. Patty Ris, an 87-year-old resident of the facility, was eating her hamburger when she began to choke. But in the nick of time another resident came to the rescue and did the Heimlich maneuver on Ms. Ris and saved the day. That resident was none other than Dr. Henry Heimlich, now 96-years-old.
Patty wrote a letter to Dr. Heimlich saying, "God put me in this seat next to you." Dr. Heimlich said, "When I used it, and she recovered quickly, it made me appreciate how wonderful it has been to be able to save all those lives."
Possible Preaching Angle:
Ah, the beauty of practicing what you preach. As Christians we never retire from being ready to save lives.
