The Miracle that is my friends son
Yesterday evening I got a message from my friend Lulufa, asking that we pray for his son who had suffered a freak accident.
I called him on the phone and he could not explain what happened. I called his wife and she told me that her son had last been seen on Friday and he was found trapped between two buildings Sunday night. He had fallen 10 floors and for some minor internal bleeding (spleen) a broken arm, and lacerations he was in fairly good shape. Can you imagine being stuck for almost 2 days and not sure that help will come. Can you imagine seeing daylight and then darkness and daylight again. And then going through another night can you imagine what the young man must have been thinking?
He is fortunate to have friends who noticed that he had been missing and insisted that campus security find him. They sent a Facebook message to his sister asking if she had seen him? They insisted that Mum call campus security and report him missing.
Suzette and I visited him in Bellevue hospital and he was conscious and speaking. He was thankful that we came to see him. We called Mum and Dad and they were happy to speak to their son. He told his Dad, "I just want to hug you Dad".
We had our Christmas miracle in November. He is 19 he will mend. God was wide awake. The young man is destined for something big. His story will be told.
