The Flip Side-Flying

Do not withhold correction from a child, For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. you shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from hell. Proverbs 23:13-14 NKJV 

 Well my visit with family in another state was nearing a close. I was starting to get concerned about my flight home. Especially since one of the flights had passengers board outside and then go up a steep ramp. After tumbling in the night a few days ago, I lost my confidence in being able to hobble up that steep ramp in my walker as I hopped on one leg due to breaking my heel the day after I had arrived there.

 A family member suggested contacting the airlines and asking them for wheelchair assistance with both flights. The same person suggested that we request handicapped seating, which we did. He also suggested that we follow up with the airline and verify these services were, in fact, in place.

 That was really good advice! Not only had they followed through with what was arranged, but they went out of their way and got us seats with more leg room. It was an answer to prayer! I had been praying about how I would be able to keep my foot elevated above my heart, as the ER doctor had suggested. 

 Airline staff wheeled me up steep ramps, got me from one plane to another and gave me seats where I could prop my foot up some. I was truly blessed. Staff members were accommodating and so we're passengers who were requested to take alternate seats. I hope these people know in their hearts what their gracious response meant to me!

 Fortunately, we had contacted the shuttle that was supposed to pick us up at our final destination. He met us at the airport with a wheelchair and a wheelchair van. All of these accommodations 
Christ allowed for me, made my multi-hour return home much more pleasant!!!
