Name Cards on the Kids’ Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This year we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a little early, on Sunday with our partners.\u00a0 Probably like many of you, we have incorporated several family traditions.\u00a0 One of our traditions is to make name cards, and have a Bible verse printed inside each one.\u00a0 Everyone takes turns reading their verses and sharing what they are thankful for.\u00a0 This year, Rebekah volunteered to make the name cards, and she chose the Bible passages to be read.\u00a0 One of the verses included was Psalm 150:6, \u201cLet every thing that hath breath<\/strong> praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD\u201d.\u00a0 She spent quite a bit of time perfecting each one, and did a great job.\u00a0 Just a few hours after she finished her project, she no longer had breath<\/strong>, literally she could not breathe<\/strong>.\u00a0 After a few moments, she calmed down and could breathe but was definitely having a difficult time.\u00a0 It was 9 p.m. and Stephen decided to get Rebekah to the hospital as quickly as possible.\u00a0 Knowing that the situation was critical, Stephen drove very quickly out of the village to a nearby provincial town.\u00a0 This town has two hospitals, a government hospital and private hospital.\u00a0 Stephen decided to go to the private hospital, but discovered that they were closed for the night.\u00a0 Stephen had a difficult decision to make: \u00a0go to the local government hospital or drive two hours to another private hospital.\u00a0\u00a0 Rebekah\u2019s situation seemed to be getting worse.\u00a0 She said it was getting harder to breathe and that her hands were tingling.\u00a0 Stephen basically had no choice but to try to the local government hospital.\u00a0 Stephen and Rebekah entered the emergency room and Stephen just about \u201ctackled\u201d the doctor.\u00a0 The doctor told a nurse that the girl needed a nebulizer.\u00a0 The nurse went out into the hallway.\u00a0 Not really knowing what was happening, Stephen and Rebekah waited in the emergency room.\u00a0 A few moments later, the nurse was calling \u201cBeautiful\u201d.\u00a0 After about the fifth time calling \u201cBeautiful\u201d, she called \u201cForeigner\u201d.\u00a0 It then dawned on Stephen that the nurse was calling for Rebekah to come out into the hallway.\u00a0 Within a few minutes, Rebekah was being treated with a nebulizer that appeared to be helping her.\u00a0 An hour later and after a second round of medicine, the doctor said Rebekah was doing better and could go home.\u00a0 On the way home, Rebekah was talking and singing non-stop.\u00a0 Praise the Lord, she had her breath<\/strong> once again.\u00a0 They arrived home about 12:30 a.m. and we all went to bed.<\/p>\n

Twelve hours later, we sat around our table to celebrate Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Each one of us went around the table and read the verses Rebekah had prepared the day before.\u00a0 Stephen, the last one to read his verse, read, \u201cLet every thing that hath breath<\/strong> praise the LORD. \u00a0Praise ye the LORD\u201d.\u00a0 We truly thank the Lord for the breath<\/strong> He has given to each one in our family.\u00a0 This Thursday, and even at this moment, praise the Lord that He hath given you breath<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
