Late One Night

It was late one night when I was awakened.  A neighbour, an elderly grandmother, had arrived with her little grandson, who was around 3 years old.  The grandmother had a fretful look on her face.  She had been up tending to her grandson, but she seemed to be far more concerned about disturbing someone, by going to their house so late at night.  Yet, having little choice, she brought grandson and pleaded for help. 

The little boy was suffering from a toothache.  Upon inspection the cavity was quite visible.  The little boy was crying, and I was informed that the little boy had been crying for hours.  The Holy Spirit whispered to annoint the tooth with consecrated oil.  The pain, very quickly began to subside.  I also administered a natural remedy to get rid of the bacteria, and gave a blessing.  The boy was doing better, but was still having difficulty.  I administered the same proceedure again, and the boy responded.  He stopped crying, and the grandmother was able to take him home to sleep. 

To watch the Lord tend to a child is an amazing experience.  His care and guidance is astounding.  The child no longer complained of a toothache.  I watched him play for days, happy and healthy.
