What Happened to the T.V. Set That Was Bolted To The Wall?

Here is a true story, that happened to a friend of mine and her baby, almost 25 years ago. I will give the story as she wrote it. God isn't someone we put in a box and command Him to do what we want. He intervenes and helps us the way He knows best. Sometimes, God heals people. Other times, God uses His wisdom and power to protect us. Here is a story of how God intervened on behalf of a woman with her baby. Without His intervention, the course of life for these two people would have been very different.

One Sunday as several nursing mothers were gathered in the foyer during the church message with our babies, I had placed my daughter in her car seat in a chair. Above the chair, bolted to the wall was a television monitor on a shelf. It had been there forever, so I didn't think anything of it. Lewis happened to come along just then and said, "Donna, I don't like the look of that t.v. up there. You should probably move Lauren somewhere else." I smiled and picked up the car seat and moved it to the couch, thinking how sweet it was of Lewis to care. The next thing I knew, literally seconds later, that television came off the wall and fell right into the chair where my sweet baby was only moments earlier! It was a miracle and God really used Lewis to save my girl's life! My daughter is 25 years old now and a mommy herself to my sweet granddaughter! God wasn't finished with her and I will be forever grateful to the Lord for sparing her and to Lewis for listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit!

  2. Yes it was. It was quite a long time ago, but that was where we were when it happened.
