HIS LOVING HANDS
When I was eighteen months old my family and I had stopped over at a aunts house to visit for a while. While my parents were not watching me I ran out of the house toward the road where an on coming car was approaching. After the accident happened all of my family was in shock regarding what just happened. After the accident my aunt quickly picked me up and held me still in her arms so that I would not hurt myself any worse than I was until we got to the hospital. My aunts occupation was an Operation Room nurse. After I had arrived at the hospital they placed a trachea tube in me so that I could breath. After I was stable I was placed in an Intensive Care Unit. While I was in ICU I was hooked up to every machine that was possible. The only way that my family knew that I was still alive was from the heart monitor noise. One day I moved my arm and knocked out the trachea tube and started crying. Since I was the youngest person in the unit, my parents knew that it was their son crying and that I was going to be alright. After this happened I had to relearn everything. I had to go through years of speech and physical therapy. After the accident I had to walk with braces on my legs and I used a cane to help me walk straighter. One of these days I will be able to place these aids on the stack of the handicapped equipment that will be destroyed. Before I accepted Christ as my personal savior I worried about how I walked and my life was empty. I sometimes wondered why GOD would let one of HIS children get hurt like I did. The reason that I think GOD let me get in this condition is to glorify HIM. The day when I am healed I can throw these walking devises into the eternal fire. Matthew 7:13-14 talks about the two roads. The narrow road leads to eternal life and the broad road leads to destruction. The road that I was traveling on was leading me to destruction. Then, one day, I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me. I heard a voice saying Patrick you are on the wrong road. After I heard this I decided to make a U turn and get on the right road that leads to eternal life. I would like to leave you something to think about. Matthew 7:13-14 talks about the two roads. If you are on the wrong road GOD does allow HIS children to make U turns.
