The spirit whispers in a still small voice. I have heard that more times than I can count but until this week I never really understood. I was at my parent's house with the girls last week. Their pool does not have a gate but it does have a durable cover that is sturdy enough to stand on. But... what happens when the cover is broken and won't shut? It leaves the pool exposed! As I was over at my mom's house I was very diligent at watching the girls and sitting by the back door making sure they did not go outside. As we were getting ready to head home I was gathering their shoes and saying bye to my brother. It was about 2 minutes of not having my eyes on them. I had a powerful thought go through my mind " go check the pool!" I dropped everything in my hands and went outside. Sure enough Scarlett had unlocked the back door and run outside. Alice had followed her and was about to jump in the pool. I literally grabbed her as she was falling in. That prompting saved my Alice's life.
Last week up at the cabin we did a lot of 4 wheeling. Because we were staying on roads and safe trails no one was wearing helmets. The last evening I went on a quick cruise up to Sugar Loaf mountain. I had a thought go through my mind to wear a helmet. I tried on a couple to find one that fit and then grabbed one for my sister as well. As we were driving back to the cabin our 4 wheeler flipped over pinning us underneath. The first thing that hit the ground was my head against a rock. The prompting to wear a helmet prevented serious injuries. It really shook me up and my heart swelled with love for my Savior
Both of these experience brought about a love for my Savior and his protection. How grateful I am the gift of the Holy Ghost, and it truly is a gift!

Wow! What a powerful testimony! I am so glad you listened both times.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.....that just gave me goosebumps. I bet you just wanted to cry when you scooped Alice up in your arms!!! Adria sleeps better when she's on an incline so I usually lay her on the boppy or on a pillow. One day when I laid her on a pillow, she wiggled and squirmed enough that she had migrated off the pillow and she was almost face down on my bed, swaddled and unable to lift her head. That shook me up so bad! Thank heaven for tender mercies of the Lord!!!
