God is ever present

Marjorie C. Lawrence

God is ever present. An opportunity to prove this statement arose one day when a neighbor's child sprayed my two children with plant fungicide and told them they were going to die.

Upon first hearing their cries I started for the door on the run. Halfway there I stopped and said to myself, "You're not going to be able to help them with wrong thoughts." The crying became louder as they came closer, and I said aloud, "Dear Lord, give me the strength to meet this situation whatever it is." My thought instantly became calm. Instead of rushing to meet them I waited for them at the door.

By this time I could see my daughter had her eyes tightly closed, and my son, aged two and a half, was guiding her footsteps. Only the top of his head was coated with the powder, and I asked him why he was crying. He replied, "He said I'm going to die like the bugs." I told him, "You're not a bug, are you? What are you really?" His fear departed, the crying of both stopped, and he positively stated, "I'm God's perfect child."
