John’s
existence is a miracle.
So
much could have gone wrong on that day - but didn’t.
John
could have hit his head on the tank when being removed – but
didn’t.
John
could have hit his head on the ground – but didn’t.
Too
much pressure could have been applied to John’s exposed brain
– but wasn’t.
Inexperienced
men could have been surrounding John – but they
weren’t.
Too
much time could have lapsed before receiving medical attention
– but didn’t.
Medical
facilities could have been substandard – but they
weren’t.
Nothing
was second best for John on that day.
Every
thing was perfect.
God
gave ordinary people the ability to do extra ordinary things.
A
miracle was in action.
Amazing
and wonderful men were given supernatural strength.
Two
men pulled John from the tank.
A
mighty shield of protection was covering these men as they removed him.
Under
constant fire from the enemy
Miraculously
no one received further injuries.
Gentle
golden hands were able to administer vital first aid to John.
There
were no rough uncaring hands.
These
golden gentle hands were essential to John’s total recovery.
His
constant reassurance to the mate he would not leave.
Suffering
himself he continued to care for John until released to the
professionals.
The
simple heart felt prayer.
Quietly
and gently whispered to John while in the helicopter.
A
beautiful prayer of reassurance and confirmation of God’s
presence.
Our
father which art in heaven
Hallowed
by thy name,
Thy
kingdom come,
Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give
us this day our daily bread
Forgive
our trespassers
As
we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead
us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For
thine is the kingdom the power and the glory
Forever
and ever
Amen
God
gave John an angel on that day.
And
allowed him to sleep peacefully.
Unable
to hear the yelling, screaming, explosions and gunfire
Unable
to see the pain, suffering, blood and destruction
God
gave John a beautiful quite place in which to rest.
Two
men were given the task to lift John
Both
