Saved from Puff Adder

In May when I was home in Zimbabwe for holidays, I had to visit a lot of people for I hadn’t seen them in a long time. One of them was my Aunt in the rural areas who had lost her husband during my absence. I arrived at the homestead & at the gate were two paths flanked by rows of stone, one to the left towards the cooking hut & another on the right towards the sitting & bedrooms.

During the day as is the norm, people spend their time in the cooking hut during the day of which I should have headed there, apparently it was like I was in a trance & during that confusion, I headed towards the sitting & bedroom area. Kids had seen me entering & told my aunt who called to me whilst standing at the cooking hut door. As I turned around, right in the path to the cooking hut lay a puff adder which I hadn’t seen & would have stepped on. I called out to my aunt as the snake started to slither away pointing to it. By the time the boys arrived with sticks & rocks, the serpent was gone. I praise the lord for the holy spirit was with me & took me away from the path with the snake.

Hallelujah Amen.
