Some Trust in Ambulances

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of The King.

Ps. 20:7

Moving out of North America and into a developing country, I felt nervous about my kids' safety. Cars have no seatbelts, much less infant carseats. There is no 911. You can call a number and maybe a hospital passenger van will pick you up. No ambulances. No paramedics. No poison control number. No airlift helicopter. I can't get a speedy blood transfusion because I have Rh- blood and all Chinese have Rh+ blood. What emergency help one might receive must be communicated in Chinese.

A foreign friend of mine is experiencing prenatal care for her first pregnancy in China. It can be a real source of anxiety when you don't feel you're getting the best for your little baby.

I am reminded where my trust lies. In a carseat? In 911? In a blood bank? Good medical care?

It's a false sense of security.

Some trust in ambulances and some in helicopters,

but we trust in the name of The King.
