There was nowhere else to go after the second person told me he wished I had come earlier. School had resumed and our child was home. The dilemma was how to pay the hiked fees for the new term. As I got downstairs on my way to work, having run out of the capacity to think of other physical possibilities, she showed up, asked me to walk right back to our top-floor apartment and handed us a cheque covering the fees. The school freeze was over.
?Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.? Isaiah 49: 15 (KJV)
Your help is around the corner.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
