I had prepared the children for school but before they left, I rushed out from the bathroom to give them the usual hugs and kisses, but could not find the third child who was one year and ten months old at the time. I had four adults in the house and we all searched everywhere but could not find the child. My brother-in-law who was washing the car outside said he did not see her come out. At that point, I became really confused and since I was still in my towel, I asked someone to quickly run outside the gate to check if by any means she was out.

A neighbour who owns a shop and who had come out early said he saw her standing by the road and took her to his house with the intention of bringing her over later. I really thank God because money, connection, etc would not have protected my child if not for the Covenant that I have in Christ.
