GOD's protection on Samuel (Again!!).

Been busy lately and only managed to find some little time to update my blog.

Few weeks ago, Samuel had a minor accident. It was Sunday (04/10) and Samuel wanted to get his plate ready for his dinner. The plate was organised in the closet which also about his eye level. The glass plate was stucked with other plates and not knowingly he pulled the plate out very harshly. Then accident happened; I guess the plate was hit to the side and broke into pieces. Due to the force he used to pulled out that already a broken piece of plate, he cut himself.

There's a cut on his nose and also on his chest. The wound started to bleed badly. Me and hubby quickly pressed the wound with tissue and cotton so that it will stop bleeding. Right after the bleeding stops, I rushed him to the hospital emergency wad. Dr said it's only a minor cut, very superficial cut so no need to stich the wound. Dr just cleaned the wound and "glue" it with some chemical stuff. Went back to review after 5 days and he is fine now.

But the most amazing thing I need to express is that, I am surely feel blessed and see how amazingly GOD had protected Samuel. By looking at the picture, Samuel's spec was cracked due to that inccident. If he didn't wore his spec, i think he might lost his sight. Really PRAISE GOD!!

Now he got a small scar on his nose, but comparing with the eye.... yea...there's nothing more important. Thank you LORD...surely He is the only God who can protect my precious ones.

Lost in Shopping Mall !!

It has been a shocked for me when we had our family outing yesterday at IOI Mall. 4 Kids and baby Shawn went to shopping with 5 adults including myself, hubby, MIL, BIL and SIL.

When we were at the Jusco ground floor, the men were busy shopping at the car accessories dept and the ladies were busy going to queue up at the payment counter. Before we went to the counter, I saw the boys (BIL's son 9 yo, Samuel and Samson) were gathered at the TV display and watching the TV. So, happily we went to the payment count and thought that the men might watch the boys coz they are the nearest to the boys.

Right after we done the payment, I noticed the boys were next to us and I started to count (which I usually do). I couldn't find Samson, so I ask the elder boys and they just telling me "don't know??".. My heart start dropping and I guess my face also turned green and grey.

I quickly rushed back to the TV display area and start looking for him and I started to pray in tongue. Then the security guard saw me and he ask me whether I am looking for a boy, then I answered him yes. Then he asked me to look for him at the information counter. My hubby also told me that the information counter already start paging about a lost boy which I can't even hear a single word coz the mall was crowed with people.

Again I rushed to the information counter and start looking for him. Thank GOD he is there, sitting at the corner and with tears in his eyes. I called his name but I guess he must be in shock and don't know how to react when he saw me. I went in and carried him then only he starts to grab my leg very tight.

Really thank GOD he is ok even though got such a shock in my life and I guess it is also a lesson to both of us. Samson will not simply run around the shopping mall and I will not simply rely on others any more which thought that the men and the elder boys would have an eye on the younger ones. I started to teach Samson to shout to look for mummy and daddy once he couldn't see us and also to remember me and my hubby hand phone numbers.

Ghee... what a nightmare to us. The whole thing just happens not longer than 15 minutes but that moment really feels like a century ...Praise the LORD...

Samuel

Last night when I was trying to upload Samson's photo onto my blog, he saw his brother's picture on the website and he started to beg me to upload his as well.

He is 7 years old now, Wow...times fly. Still remember the day when he was born. I had a c-section when I gave birth to Samuel coz he was breeched. I still remember when he was admitted to hospital when he's 5 months old due to Meningitis. I stayed with him for almost a week and really a nightmare to both me and my husband. If it's doesn't handle carefully, I'm afraid Samuel might have brain damaged. Thank GOD so much for his blessing and protection to Samuel.

He had an accident when he turns 5 which he got his birthday present from his dad, a bicycle. It was May 2005; he was cycling around the playground next to my father-in-law convenience shop which also near to the condominium’s swimming pool. My husband was with Samuel at that time, received a phone call and turned around to answer his hand phone coz line was quite bad. Unfortunately, at the same time, Samuel lost control of his bike and rode straight into the swimming pool. There were 2 adults swimming in the pool at the time, but they did not see him fall in, thinking someone had just jumped into the pool. To make matters worse Samuel didn’t know how to swim. Fortunately, however, a man who was about to enter the condominium lift, but who had previously noticed Samuel cycling around the playground, also heard the splash. As he turned around, he saw Samuel in the pool struggling and his bicycle next to the pool. This man ran and jumped into the pool and pulled Samuel out of the pool. We were very grateful to God for the protection afforded and how He had specifically sent someone to save Samuel. According to the neighborhoods, that man rarely walks around the condominium facilities, but on that particular day had just decided to go out for a stroll! God had arranged for the right person, to be in the right place at just the right time! When I known about that incident, I was so angry and yet worried to my precious boy. We do not have the opportunity to thank that man for saving my son’s life coz we were so shocked and no one in the neighborhoods know which floor he stayed. Personally, I thank this man in my prayer and pray God that He will bless this man. (I also heard from others that he “tak sempat” took out his hand phone from his pocket and guess its sure already spoilt. )

Well, as a parent I realized we can’t watch our kids every hour and every minutes, so the best thing to do is just pray for protection from our God no matter what age they are now. Only He can watch over him every second. Samuel still as happy as before and still love his swimming session but cycling session.. will only make sure the place is safe than only we allow him to take out his bicycle.

Look at his photo, taken during his graduation at age of 6. I got teary eyes when I attended his graduation ceremony.

Mummy loves you forever!! My precious Samuel…
