Last night as I was cleaning up from dinner, the boys were in their bedroom playing, waiting for their bath. Someone knocked at our door. Josh opened the door to a girl telling him that Gabe was pushing the screen off the window of their second-story bedroom! He raced upstairs and pulled Gabe out from between some shelves that are in front of the window. The screen was already broken, and he could have soon fallen out if the girl had not come to tell us what was happeneing.

I put the shelf unit in front of the window for safety reasons, but aparently it was not safe enough.

My heart is still my throat when I think of last night. Here’s one more specific prayer request for our precious little Gabe. Because he sees the world differently that most, he has almost no concept or fear of danger. He was burned once, so he knows about hot things, but sharp things, falling, strangers, cars, etc…don’t phase him a bit! We have had more “close calls” with Gabe than all of our other kids combined. He always keeps me on my toes, which is difficult with my responsibilities to the other kids. So, please pray for his ongoing safety as he learns how to see the dangers present in this big world.
