Godly Protection!!

So as you can imagine, there is always some sort of drama going on in our house. With three boys, life is never dull nor is it ever NOT an adventure. Yesterday afternoon, while Allen & his kids were over playing, we heard a loud "thud" and then a scream. That is never good to hear. Allen & I rushed outside (Jeff was upstairs) and to our horror, Nathan (our 4-year-old) had fallen through the screen and out the window of his 2nd story room!!! It's very high from the window to the ground, and what broke his fall was the screen (and Nathan) falling against a 2-ft high brick retaining wall.

We brought him inside, thankful that Allen was here (he's our colleague/SIM doctor). Immediately there were 2 large bumps on his head and he was complaining of his leg/groin area hurting. He couldn't walk and was very scared. I gave him some Tylenol and Allen kept checking him out. Finally Nathan decided he wanted to go lay in our bed and immediately fell asleep. We woke him up an hour later so Allen to give him another look over and then let him continue sleeping. He slept through the night with me, waking up off and on, but did tell me about 3am that his head hurt, but that his leg was feeling better.

We just feel like God really protected Nathan from more serious injuries; a fall like that could have broken various bones, and he is literally up running around today. Though his head hurts a bit (and with good reason), and his neck is stiff, he is doing fine. I'll post a picture soon of the window/screen so you can get a good visual.
