Hating that I had to disturb them at this time of the night and feeling sorry for myself, I started to cry.
I pulled my coat sweater over my head and sat there on the floor until my Middle son came and helped me get up.
We both laughed as he pulled me up. I said that I was sorry to bother him at that hour, but I couldn't get up on my own. He was glad that I was alright. I thanked him for his kindness. I thank the Lord that I didn't break anything when I fell.
I was not hurt. I had no pain afterward either. My body didn't even get sore. The Lord took care of me. Praise the Lord. God is good.
As the days come and go, may the Good Lord honor and strengthen all the sons and daughters for their kindness and hard work, taking care of us.
Being good children, grant them Grace and Mercy for doing the best they can to provide the proper care for us. I am truly grateful.
Isaiah 40:29
"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."
First off, Praise the Lord that he kept you close, and no harm was done to your body. Secondly, your story has touched my heart. My mama was diagnosed with new onset Congestive Heart Failure, and she is only 61. I admit it is hard to care for a parent, more so mentally and emotionally than physically. Because things are changing, but I would do it a thousand times over. Because God takes care of those who takes care of his children, and loyal parents should not have to worry. I thank God you have children who love you and care for. I love your post. God Bless you
Thank you MotherMac for sharing that awful encounter you had & more importantly that the Lord undertook for you in keeping you safe & bringing in the help you needed through your son. It must have been a tense time for you, but thankfully, you were preserved from any fractures or severe bruising & were kept at peace knowing the Lord would undertake in His time.
Also what struck me from your testimony, was that you were so concerned about troubling your sons at that hour of the night, to come to your aid. I'm reminded of that parable of Jesus in Luke 11:5-8, when a true friend (in your case, your family members), should not find it inconvenient to come to the aid (or, need) of a dear one. Several years ago, I had a similar experience, when a good friend of mine, a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, fell while getting out of bed at about 9 pm. He had no one close by that he could call on, except me (living about 10 miles from him). So he rang me (fortunately his phone was at hand) & I drove over to assist him. He was very heavy to lift, but with him rolling over to his side, he was able to slowly get to his knees & we could together lift him up using his bed as extra support. He apologized profusely for getting me out so late, but as Jesus said, a true friend (& a loving family member) ought not to consider the inconvenience, but quickly attending to the need of the hour. So, I rejoice with you that you came out well from all this, and having another occasion to give praise to the LORD for His undertaking. And please keep that phone near you always.
