sending the Pastor?

Yesterday afternoon was an interesting experience to say the least!!

During recess, Jayden fell on the playground.  I got a call that he had bumped his head and scratched up his nose a little bit.  I went over to the school right away to check things out.  He seemed ok.  I picked him and he was complaining that his leg hurt.  We decided to take him to the hospital for an x-ray to rule out a possible fracture. 

As I was walking in the hospital with the 4 kids, I looked up to see our Pastor walking towards us with a Bible in his hand.  (he was there visiting someone staying in the hospital) 

I'll be honest, at that point in the afternoon, I was completely panicking on the inside, trying to remain calm for Jayden and the other kids.   I was saying a few prayers... for his leg..... for his swimming 'career' over the next few months......  BUT I NEVER expected God to actually 'send' the pastor :)  The pastor walked into the waiting room with us and chatted with the kids probably knowing that I was a complete mess on the inside ----- maybe even on the outside too :) 

In the end, everything turned out fine with Jayden's leg.  We suspect he just a pulled muscle, but my heart sank briefly knowing that he could have been in a cast for the next few months.

......you never know when a prayer might be answered :)
