1Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, I want to take a few minutes and\u00a0thank God\u00a0for something that\u00a0happened last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We got a call while eating lunch one day recently. It was my sister. She said to me, “our brother just fell 15 \u2013 20 feet\u00a0out of a tree and he landed on a\u00a0stone wall. They are rushing him to\u00a0RI hospital.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We all know in this area that if someone goes to RI hospital, it’s a serious situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As we raced off to the hospital, the only words that could come out of my mouth were, “Oh God, Oh God, Oh God”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When we arrived at the hospital, we found him being prepared to have a tube inserted into his side, to drain air and fluid from his chest cavity. He had several broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a liver laceration, and a bruised lung.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I got a text message on my phone during that time from someone that knew nothing about the accident and it read, “sometimes all it takes is just one prayer to change everything”. It couldn’t have come at a better time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thankfully, there was no\u00a0damage\u00a0to his spine or his brain. Considering his fall and what could have happened, they said he was “very lucky”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He went into the hospital on a Thursday afternoon, into the Intensive Care Unit of the Trauma Center, and was released that Sunday afternoon. Just 3 short days later.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t call that luck. It was only\u00a0God and His faithfulness!<\/p>\n

My brother is driving now,\u00a0moving around pretty good and getting things done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We believe that\u00a0prayer is so powerful, even if it is just\u00a0“Oh God”. He knows!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, take a break and spend it with God. Love\u00a0on Him and\u00a0thank\u00a0Him. Let Him know how much we appreciate Him. And if there is an “Oh God prayer”, let it out. It’s good enough. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
