Saved From the Late Coming to School Punishment and Thirsty-Hungry

By Yen Yen

One day when I was in the 2nd elementary grade, I woke up late at 9AM (time the school started). My mom said, “I thought u have gone to school. I didn’t see u in the bedroom”. “I was sleeping under the bed”.

Then, I took a little breakfast and hurriedly went to the school by walking with my servant. The school was about 15 mins from our house.

While on the way, I thought that I would surely get the late coming punishment by standing up-sitting down with holding my ears for 100 times as it happened to my friends.

While we were crossing the small bridge, suddenly my water bottle strap, which was right across the front of my chest, broken and the bottle rolled and fell directly into the river (the handle of the bridge was only made of a thin iron, like a string, with up and down separate parts, approx.1 cm in diameter each).

Then, I had to hold thirsty because the hot weather and hope I could get drink at the school though I didn’t have pocket money.

When arriving at school, I almost didn’t believe that the school hasn’t started yet. I saw my seatmate sitting next to the classroom door then said, “May I have a drink? My water bottle fell into the river”. “Sure”, she poured the water from her bottle into the bottle cap and gave it to me. “More?” “Yes”. “More?” “No. Thanks”.

Then she opened the lid of her bread container and asked, “You want bread?” I nodded and she let me take a piece of them.

No longer after that, the bell was ringing and we entered the class. That school day has been a beautiful day for me. No punishment, no longer thirsty and hungry.

JESUS has miraculously saved me from the late coming punishment and provided what I needed at the right place, right time. Thanks JESUS, my Savior, my Bread and Water of Life. Also, Thanks for a friend with JESUS’ Heart, YOU gave.

I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isa 43:19b KJ21

Saved From the Accident of Hitting the Sliding Glass Door

By Yen Yen

One Sunday afternoon, as a 5 yo kid, I was playing with my cousin in her house. I was chasing her through the opened sliding glass door then ran to the other part of her house and back to the sliding door again. 

While I was running there, I didn’t know the sliding glass door has been closed. Then, I hit the closed sliding door and the glass was shattered. I cried aloud. 

But, Praise JESUS, I only got a small bleeding wound in the middle of my forehead (between my eyebrows), no glass pieces got into my eyes and the rest of my body was also completely unhurt. The wound just needed to be smeared by the iodine. 

At that time, I still didn’t know about praying in tongue, even could not read the Bible. But, as I remember, in my kindergarten/Sunday school, the teacher taught us to sing about JESUS’ love, such as “YESUS Kasih Padaku (JESUS loves me this I know)”, also my mom and I often sang about HIS love at home. And, that day, HE showed HIS love for me by protecting me. THANK YOU, JESUS!
