one of ours

 Almost a week ago a 10 year old girl - a former student of mine -
was hit by a car while riding her bike.
It was dark and she was on her way home from AWANA.
The story is not yet entirely clear what happened
but what is clear is that Charity's skull was
crushed and a large portion of it had to be removed after
being airlifted to Children's Hospital in Winnipeg.
That was last Wednesday.
The word went out and people began to pray.
Our students and teachers prayed.
Charity's little brother is in grade 4 in our school
so we've been praying for him as well as
his family and older sister who was with
Charity when the accident happened.
On the weekend, Charity's sedation medication was
decreased to allow her to start waking up.
The doctors could see signs of healing that they could not account for 
less than a week after she suffered a serious, life-threatening
head injury.
Her head/brain was damaged where memory and personality
are located.
Charity is a bright, happy, beautiful little girl - inside and out.
Please pray for her if she comes to mind.
