"Well, see, you've taken care of the most important things," his father said. "Nobody fixes things like God. Once we humble ourselves and start looking to him for direction, and we're willing to do whatever he tells us, he can start turning everything around again, working it all to our good and to his glory. I know all about this now, Tom. Firsthand. You'd be amazed at what God can do, even in a matter of months. That's why I'm here this afternoon. You know that, right? Not to judge but to help you. Maybe share a few of the things I've learned. Some of it from last summer, when I almost lost your mom. Some of it I just learned yesterday from your uncle Henry." "He mentioned he had something kind of big to talk to you about." "Well, he did. And it was big. I'd like to share it with you if you're okay with that." "I'm all ears," Tom said."
