THE DAY MY SON FELL 40′!

Do you ever have your day all planned out but then something comes in that wasn’t in the plan? That’s the story of my life and probably all of you as well.

I remember one day a few years ago when this happened. I was working through my day when my son came in crying and not looking to good. I think he was around 6 or 7, I can’t remember for sure but he was young.   As the story unfolded the realization came to me that he had fallen from a tree. He had fallen around 35’-40’ so it was no small matter. He hit branches as he was coming down, getting all scraped up. At the time, with no insurance and very little money, I called our doctor friend. He gave me advice on what to do. I started with putting him in a tub of water and getting him washed up. I just remember after that him going into shock. I held him as he began to shake. We continued to watch his eye dilation as instructed by our doctor friend because we didn’t really know if he had hit his head or not.

Our son that was a couple of years older was also in the same tree and he had watched it happen and he said that he had landed on his back. The other amazing thing is he landed on years of accumulation of a soft pile of pine needles.

The neighbor told me she had heard it happen and had run down to help but my son had gotten on his bike and headed back home. He wanted the one person that he felt loved him so much to take care of him and give him comfort.

One thing I have learned is to give each day to God and no matter what the interruptions He is there to see you through.

Maybe you are really feeling like this in your Christian walk right now. You have been climbing and feeling really connected with God but now you have fallen. You have been battered and bruised and you even are in shock. You are feeling so shaken in side. And you’re not even sure if you can come to God. You are feeling like that you have really crossed the line this time.

I want to assure you that no matter what you have done wrong in your life, no matter how scraped up, bruised, or messed up you are you can come to Jesus just as you are.

If you have been with Jesus for a long time and in a moment of weakness you have failed big time Jesus is there just waiting for you to come to Him. He can wash you in His blood, wrap and hold you in His arms of love and forgive you.

There is no one else that can do for you what God can do but you can reach out to people who can lead you to the Great Physician that does have all the answers and healing.

Dear Father,

Thank You for being such a loving God Who is always there to forgive and renew us. Thank You that there is no problem to big that You cannot solve it. Thank You for all Your patience and continued love.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Remember you are loved by Jesus beyond what you can comprehend. He forgives and is waiting with open arms to receive you. It is not too late come to Him today for cleansing. Give your day to God and if you fail you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ.

Love you all.
