Meet precious Christela which means "Christ was there"
This story is a year old. But I just ran across it today for the first time and thank God that Jesus was there with her.
There are two victims in this story. Christela and the Baby's Mother.
I asked the same question as many did: How could a mother throw her 18 day old baby down an out house toilet that was 30 feet deep and leave her for dead?
Then I decided to think about it in a different way. What would cause a mother to do that? What pain was she in that she felt this was her only choice?
Two issues came across my mind as I read this story here is the first:
Christela’s birth mother is a juvenile from Marbial, a small village in the countryside, about 45 minutes from Jacmel. She was put out of her parents’ home when she became pregnant and she moved to Jacmel. A judge did sentence her to jail. Medically she is doing well.
1. The baby's mother was "Thrown away" and left for dead (so to speak). The mom was 15 years old at the time.
2. So the baby's mother did what was done to her baby away "Threw her away."
Thank the Lord that he looks out for us when we don't even realize it. A teenage boy followed a trail of blood to the outhouse toielt and rescued her. She was found "resting" with no scratches or bruises.
Let's pray for the family. Thank you Hands and Feet orphanage for looking after her.
God rewards those who love the forgotten of the world.
May God bless you.
