….and the husband said to her (my older sister), dear, go and give that child (a little over 4months old baby) food oh, se you know that is the way she cries when she’s hungry? And like a sheep to the slaughter, she obediently left what she was doing in the kitchen …can imagine her thinking, “Oh, if only the baby had just waited a little while for her to finish what she was doing.”
Opening the door to the room, Fire! fire! she shouted. She went in picked the baby from the bed and passed her to her 10year old niece at the door (believing ’twas her husband) and said, take her outside. The first bucket of water doused the fire and the second was more or less for formality. She went to where the baby was been clamoured, lo and behold, the baby was still sleeping. But, but, ……they all heard the baby cried.
Oops, and it occured to me what He has promised. “My presence will go (be) with you.” ….and in the silent chambers of my mind i whispered not but, shouted, Thank You, Lord.
Am I missin’ sumthing here? Is this the continuation of a story? Ok, I need to go read “The Sought Bride” to find out…Anyways, I join in thanksgiving of the peace the Lord gives us…He is truly faithful…
