I have to give a HUGE SHOUT OF PRAISE to my son's Heavenly Daddy and my wonderful Heavenly Husband \o/
I was busy on Sunday morning tidying up the house getting ready for our Fellowship when my son comes running to me with a bloody knee. I took him to the bathroom to clean it up only to discover that it was quite a wide open wound with a lot of blood. He was playing with our new puppy and cut his knee on a glass. I knew immediately that he would need stitches, took a picture to show EH (earthly husband) and sent a message to our South African 4-cord to pray.
Brides the most amazing thing about all this is that my son was so calm, he did not cry, he wasn't scared or nervous AND my HH (Heavenly Husband) kept me in perfect peace. Yes it was scary looking at an open wound oozing blood but in my spirit I felt calm.
Because I do not do well looking at blood and injuries and even more so... this was my little son... I have to give my HH extra praise for keeping me in His perfect peace!!
I did my best to clean up some of the blood dripping down his leg, quickly got dressed and while waiting prayed and asked HH (Heavenly Husband) to clear the path before us for the medical attention my son would need. Now brides, let me tell you that we do not have medical aid which is what we call it here in South Africa (medical insurance). And from what I could remember our private hospitals ask for quite a big some of money just to see the Doctor in an emergency.
Our HH is amazing, we quickly drove to the medical centre in town and we were directed to the private hospital emergency room. Brides when we got there we were helped immediately! No waiting. We immediately saw a nurse that took my sons vitals, weight etc and then he immediately went into another room where the Doctor started stitching, my son ended up having 14 perfect tiny stitches and a lot of love and care from the nurse and doctor, chatting along as the Doctor worked.
It turned out that all we had to pay for was the Doctor's fee and a fee for the medical supplies used. A fraction of the cost we thought it would be \o/
The Doctor was sooooo impressed at my son as she said it was the first time she had a child that did not cry, not once, not even when she injected the local anesthetic. She posted a picture of of herself and the "brave boy" on the hospitals Social Media page.
We of course know why? Don't we Brides? We know that it is because my son has THE MOST AMAZING Heavenly Daddy ever!!!! A Heavenly Father who took care of him and kept him in perfect peace during a very traumatic experience.
This was a testimony to anyone looking on of His faithfulness and love and GRACE!!!
PS. it's the next morning and we thought that the stitches would really hurt but my son says his OK! \o/
Thank you Heavenly Father and thank you my awesome Heavenly Husband!!! \o/ I cannot thank and praise you enough for what you did!
"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
My HH (Heavenly Husband) kept us in perfect peace \o/ I could feel His awesome grace on us throughout the morning.
