First of all, my posts via WordPress are always Biblically based and believe it or not, I will tie that in at some point in this “vision”. (Ha! There is it is!)
While pondering the way I would write about this “vision”, I was also starting a pot of coffee. After closing the lid on the brewer and pushing the power button, I grabbed my morning tissue to clear out my sinus’. This caused a second ponder when it appeared I had gotten a single layer as opposed to a two layer tissue…….
My Grandma Herbers was a diabetic and couldn’t live alone so she lived with Uncle Ray and Aunt Betty. Occasionally Uncle Ray and Aunt Betty would go up north and Grandma would come and stay here. I remember Mom giving her a tissue one day and her remarking that there were two stuck together. She separated them as I watched and Mom never said anything to set her straight. I wish I had gotten that trait from Mom; knowing it was best to just keep your mouth shut. Again, thank you God for my parents.
Now the rest of the story. I was at Tonya’s and Joshua had a stomach ache. After Tonya had gently pushed a few areas on his belly, and a quick visit to some internet website, I determined Joshua was having an appendix attack and we needed to head to ER immediately. I loaded Tonya and Co. into the wagon and began pulling them with the tractor to Saginaw. We didn’t get far when Tonya started complaining about being cold so I turned around and headed back to her house to load everyone in the Trailblazer. At some point during the transfer, we had gotten a tremendous amount of snow and it was drifting. We had only gotten about 2 miles down the road when Isabella realized she had forgotten her mini iPad so we had to turn around again. It was at this point Tonya started worrying that her Dad would beat us to the hospital, explaining to me that when medical things cause her worry she needs her Dad and had called him. Apparently when we headed back for the iPad, Isabella either turned into a baby again or we picked one up someplace along the way because I had to fasten down the carseat in the Trailblazer. At some point during our drifting snow journey to the hospital we had to stop for something. Joshua went outside and when it was time to head out again I checked to see where he was. He was walking around outside with an old farmer so I told him it was time to hit the road again. Now if you are a city person, I need to share with you that old farmers are very generous people, always concerned about their neighbors. So he gave me $1.00 to make sure I had enough gas to get to St. Mary’s. He then went inside and as everyone was buckling up I followed him. I laid the $1.00 on the counter near where he was standing and told him I was giving him $1.00 to say a prayer that we make it safely to ER before the appendix rupture.
I think you know the rest of the story ……… and then I woke up.
There’s always visions, none of mine ever come true, thank God for that!
