I was a paramedic wading through the snow to this dilapidated apartment. Upon gaining entrance, we noticed the mother on the floor having just delivered a baby. The apartment was cold, being heated by the oven of a propane range. The cord was cut and the baby was wrapped in blankets. Both mother and child were transported by our ambulance to the nearest medical center. Thankfully, we were two paramedics on this call.
I can’t say if they all lived happily ever after because I never saw them again. It just amazes me the life-experiences that God has in store for us. I never want to experience that again, but the memory is a blessing to me personally.
For one thing, I was not alone facing that dilemma. I was thankful for the other paramedic and God’s wisdom:
Ecclesiastics 4:12
And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Don’t go into an unknown situation alone.
Think about it.
