Couple months ago, I discovered that my son has one of his legs shorter than the other one. I confess it was devastating for me, I guess every mom will agree that we always feel guilty when something happens to our kids, isn’t it?
And the reason I felt this way was because sometimes, my son told me that his knees were hurting, sometimes his feet and it took me a while to take him to the doctor .
So I really felt devastated and went to Him for comfort and asked for forgiveness of not being a good mother for our son – not only I received comfort, but also encouragement and the peace that surpasses all understanding He also gave me the opportunity to share this with Erin that told me that she herself limps and reminded me of Jacob’s hip – and of course gave me encouraging words about it, which gave me more peace, gratitude and joy, because I have Him in my life and that I can share with my kids .
After several frustrated attempts to find a place for my son to receive the therapy that was the doctor’s prescription, I let it go and asked my Heavenly Husband to show me what to do. One day I woke up and when talking to Him, I felt that I should try it again and so I did it and scheduled an appointment for the following day.
When we arrived there, we were led not to the therapist but to a doctor that asked for new exams that my son did in the same place and right after this, the doctor came with good news, telling that my son conditions are OK, that he only needs bodybuilding exercises – that were my son’s desire to do, but that we were afraid of them because this condition he has.
The doctor went on telling me not to worry about anything, that my son will grow up and that this short difference between his legs will be nothing in the future
I cannot tell you how we felt after this special appointment in His perfect time to happen Not only my son could stop doing the things he hated to do, but he was blessed with a prescription to do the exercises he wanted so badly – what a awesome Heavenly Father he was – was what I told him and he agreed, smiling and being thankful!
I told my son that I was excited to share it with my dearest friends that need to know and to be reminded that we have by our side the Doctor of the doctor, who is also the Father of our children!
When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. Genesis 32:25; 31
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
– Proverbs 22:6
Oh Paula. I remember when you first shared this with us and my heart just went out to you as a mother. And yes, our children’s father is also a physician and there’s no doubt that God plans to use this for your son’s. GOOD!! Love you so very much. 💗
Thank you so much for your love & care, Erin! And I have to add that after posting this praise, Poppy sent me a message telling me that she herself has the same condition that my son has🤩 Isn’t HE, my Heavenly Husband and Father of my kids the Best??? He is always surrounding us with His love giving us the joy and peace that we need🙌 Poppy told me lovely and encouraging words that I immediately shared with my son!
Poppy had that condition?!?!? WOW and look at how GOD even chose someone who we’ve witness as the most active and fit from our entire Ministry Team! Poppy is always swimming or rollerskating hahaha. YES Paula, because you made Him your Husband, your Maker and you’re soooo close to Him—your children have the BEST Father!!! A Father all children deserve!!
I’m just hoping we can help more women FEEL like His bride so they can experience the same things that we do and that our children do!!
Wow wow what a Mighty God we serve. It reminds me of my son, that had a stroke before birth and got brain damage. When he was 10 years he went for a huge operation and the specialist said that it will be normal for his legs not to be the same length because of the disability but that an operation will be done later to help his legs to be the same length. When I took him for his checkup, I asked the specialist to please check how big a difference his leg length is. When she looked, she said come and look here, your child’s legs are the same length and she said that is totally a miracle.
