In all my years as a mom, I have noticed that within me, there is some special sixth sense. Each time, my child injured himself, I would get some kind of nagging tugs in the heart.
Once, my second son who was only about 2 years old had a piece of broken glass fell right onto his scalp. I was in the office and wasn’t aware of that. However, I felt some dizziness and felt sick. True enough, within a few minutes, my sister phoned me and told me about it. Thank goodness, my hubby wasn’t working and he was just nearby and took my son to the doctor.
Such feelings have occurred again and again. Most of the times, it was when I was away from them. When they are in distress, I sense it. It has happened again the other night. I went to sleep as usual but on that night, I felt a very strong urge to talk to God. Most nights, I just fall asleep after my usual short prayers. But that night, I somehow repeated again and again the same thing, asking Jesus to shelter and protect my children.
That prayer had proven to save my son’s life. No one can ever tear my faith away with this incident. I believe in Jesus and His mighty saving power. I know our lives are in God’s hands and only God alone can determine our destiny. (posts with pictures on my personal blog.
Lord, You have saved my son and I shall surrender our lives to You, O Lord. Take them and make good men of them so that they can glorify Your glorious name, O Lord. Shape their lives, grant me wisdom to guide them and never let us out of Your shelter.
