Lord, Thank You for Your Protection

Yesterday Grace had pulled herself up to stand next to a book shelf and hit her mouth really hard on the edge of the shelf. She cut open her gums and we had to take her to the emergency room. After waiting for several hours, we saw the doctor and he said that she will be fine and they didn’t even have to do anything. The section of her gums will probably fall off (like a piece of dead skin would) and it won’t affect her teeth or anything like that.
I am so thankful that she wasn’t hurt any worse than that. The doctor was amazed that she didn’t split her lip open. She managed to hit the shelf with her mouth open which saved her from serious injury. It always amazes me how the Lord provides for us and protects us!!
O Lord my Savior and my Master, I, Thine unprofitable servant, with fear and trembling give thanks unto Thy loving goodness for all Thy benefits which Thou hast poured so abundantly upon me, Thy servant. I fall down in adoration before Thee and offer Thee, O god, my praises; with fervor I cry to Thee: O God, deliver me henceforth from all adversities and mercifully fulfill in me such of my desires as may be expedient for me. Hear me, I entreat Thee, and have mercy, for Thou art the Hope of all the ends of the earth, and unto Thee, with the Father, and the Holy Spirit, be ascribed glory, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Grace is really fussy today- it probably doesn’t help that she is also cutting a tooth on the other side of her gums. So please keep her in your prayers. She is not a happy girl today.
Aww, poor thing. The nice thing is they do heal so quickly. Prayers for a peaceful night for everyone.
Poor thing indeed! Prayers.
