For the first time ever, I got to speak with Neysa Moskowitz, whose daughter, Stacy, died in the last "Son of Sam" shooting in 1977 (see Journal entry for December 8, 2001)...
The Lord repeated this miracle again on December 29th when I called Mrs. Moskowitz a second time. She had asked me to do this, and I was able to wish her many blessings for the new year. This time, however, we only spoke for about ten minutes. In all honesty, while I am humbled at what is happening between us, I still find it a little hard to talk with her.
Mrs. Moskowitz is a 68-year-old widow who lives alone. Her life has been a string of unending tragedies and losses. She is a woman who is well acquainted with grief and sorrow having lost her husband, Jerry, as well as all three of her children, all daughters, to untimely deaths. Plus, her health is very bad, and she has several serious medical problems. Much of the time she is in excruciating pain because of her bad back. I do believe, however, that Jesus the Messiah has chosen her for salvation. I believe that her day to receive Jesus as her Savior will come soon.
All throughout the Bible there are examples of God's heart being moved by the sufferings of widows. Mrs. Moskowitz is no exception. The God of Israel has a good plan for her, and it will come to pass in due time.
D.B.
