INDEED.
some are incredibly resourceful, creative, clever, smart, determined, tenacious, strong willed.
some will simply not stop until they’ve reached their objective.
I’ve certainly seen plenty that could open a lot of sliding glass doors. Most such doors are designed to slide easily, after all.
Somewhere, M. Night Shyamalan is staying up late writing a draft.
With everything else that’s going on in the Nation and the world, this is just one way God has to remind us that He is still in control and He knows and cares.
And Miracles do still happen.
Teary smile on my face tonight. Wow, God is so Good.
So maybe God flew her to the pond but to go thru two barbed wire fences and walk a mile barefooted and in the dark too. All that just adds up to more than strange to me.
It just seems to me some questions should be asked of these parents as I still think it sounds fishy.
Hmmmmm
Lots of rescuers evidently affirmed various aspects of the scenario.
The family members as well.
Where in the heck was the family dog?
Praise The Lord....He watches over us.
My collie—Lassie type—would not let my adopted todler sister pass our fence line going up to grandma’s place which was across the fence. There was a private dirt road between us but the collie would not let Bonnie walk past that fence line. Collie kept putting Collie’s body between Bonnie and Grandma’s.
No one trained her to do that.
Thank you for such a heart warming post.
Warms my heart.

Why would you refer to this as fiction?
If you had faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed, you could say to a mountain, be removed, and it would be cast into the sea.
I believe God truly did this to protect a toddler from harm.
May He Who is able to keep you from falling touch your heart, remove the coldness, so that you have a heart of flesh, instead of a heart of stone, and may you, with your own eyes, see the salvation of the Lord.
Yes, He is good. All the time.
And we, by faith, share with those who have an inheritance in His eternal Kingdom.
Great question, Spatha.
Should have been preventing the baby from leaving or shepherding that little one back home or barking its head off to raise the alarm.
This sort of story scares the crap out of me. I’m a toddler’s dad, too...
You are quite welcome, my dear. All thanks to Him.
God hears our prayers. He answers those prayers.
Father in Heaven, we ask You to watch over our children, to keep them safe, to be with them always. We ask this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
You are right, toddlers sure keep folks on their toes. I used to make notes in my kids’ baby books when they would have near misses. Once, when my son was a very little guy, I woke up to the smell of melting plastic. He had climbed out of his crib, gone downstairs, found a Tupperware lid, and put it in the toaster oven. He was too young to even explain “why” he did that.
Mommy’s little helper !?!
I’m just glad I woke up when I did. Up till that point, he hadn’t been able to climb out of his crib. There’s a first time for everything.
God bless you and watch over your little one.
Let’s also pray for the parents and families of young children who are allowed by God to suffer and die. We can’t see the Big Picture, but we have to trust that God can, and that He has good reasons for staying His protective Hand.
Every night I pray that God will shift any bad thing that may happen to Baby Chan over to my account. Let me suffer, but spare him! I can’t imagine how I’d feel if something happened to our little fellow. I pray that God spares us such a trial.
We put a childproof plastic knob cover on the INSIDE of the nursery, a radio on in the child’s room, and take ac-powered monitors into whatever room we are in. That way as long as we can hear the radio, we know the baby monitor is working and we can hear if the tot needs us. And the child simply cannot get out.
G-d bless this little one; so glad she is safe.
We bought a house with a heavy Anderson sliding door at the end of the living room that led to a two-story drop. The previous owners ran out of money before they built a deck. I can assure you a two year old can open the door, which is a key reason why we added on to the house at that spot.
And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. - Matt 14: 28-29
I was just thinking, has ANYONE walked on water since St. Peter with Christ Jesus?
