remembering............. when matthew was a baby. he's 22 now, so, about 20 years ago i learned a valuable lesson!
i woke up and prayed that prayer again... "lord, let me be a blessing to someone today"
on this day, i was babysitting a few extra children, and an acquaintance stopped by with her children. she told me she had been praying about being able to help someone out.now, my friend is kind of melancholy in temperment so she's hard to be around sometimes. on this particular day tho' i had been so busy attending to people that i really didn't take extra notice! well, my friend happened to look on the couch and Matthew was laying there and started to go into convulsions! i freaked out and did everything wrong! i grabbed him and he was HOT..so i brought him to the sink and started to pour cold water on him to cool him down. apparently,it put him into shock and he stiffened up and stopped breathing! i called bill and he told me to get to the hospital! we only live a block away, thank God!
i told my friend she was going to minister to me and watch all the kids.then i asked her for her car keys! i did have my car in the drive ,but forgot! she gave me her keys, i put matthew on my lap and looked at my sweet angel baby and cried out "lord, i know you love him more than i do" and i yelled at matthew "COME BACK"
i got to the hopital and they took him immediately his temp was 106. SCARY!!
a nurse came and held my hand the whole time that they were running tests and trying to get his fever down.(angel)???
his fever started coming down and they got him breathing regularly so after the nite, they sent him home. We never knew the cause of this convulsion and other than singing about a dinasaur (NOT BARNEY).it was denver we never knew the cause!
the neat thing was .someone had annonomously sent us a check a few weeks prior to this incident. no note explaining.nothing. my first reaction wasn't joyful i got a "what are you preparing us for feeling" in fact, that is what i asked GOD. after 2 weeks of nothing tho' i started to think new curtains, rug? lots of ideas.
the amount that was sent to us was TO THE PENNY what the hospital bill was! isn't God good? and beyond this my friend had her prayer answered and so did i! God id JEHOVAH- JIREH meaning in greek the Lord Will provide..He still does! what is your need? He's there!!!
