A healing at the beach

Nathan Millington

My name is Nathan. I live in Queensland, Australia, and I like going camping with my family.

Last year we camped right on a beach. During the day, we swam in the surf and played at the water's edge. One afternoon, small marine animals called bluebottles washed ashore in the waves. These creatures have a tiny bubble that sits on top of the water. They also have long stinging tentacles that float under the water.

We had been playing in the surf for most of the day, when suddenly I felt a terrible sting. I began crying with pain. I ran to my mum and she unwrapped a blue tentacle from around my arm. As she did this, she told me that God was in control. He was taking care of me. I was God's child and could not be hurt. I could be calm. I could feel God's love all around me.
