26 day writing challenge-day 5 'provision'

 A time I felt provided for...

My mom would come stay with me the week after I had my babies, helping to get settled in with this new addition to our family.  She'd cook meals, do laundry and most importantly provided motherly counsel and encouragement.   I had 3 c sections since my first baby was a breech nine pounder.   I was carrying a whale. 

Then years later, one night sent me to the hospital with appendicitis.  Somewhere between that and my next hospitalization a few weeks later, my intestines did a loop de loop and caused a small bowel obstruction.  The worse pain I've felt.  I saw Jesus in the reflection of the hospital bed rails.   Then a few moments later, my good friend was at my side before my husband could get there.   Weeks after friends poured their love with a meal train.  Flowers, cards poured in. 

God used this wonderful church community to provide for me when I was sick.
