Happy FOT 2015!

Thankful for God's Protection

You always dread getting a phone call to tell you that something happened to your loved one. Well on Saturday September 12th I got that call. Thankfully it was from my husband Kenny and he was not hurt badly.

On the way home from services Kenny's usually very reliable Chrysler 300 stopped dead in the middle lane of I-26 west near Columbia (I was home sick that day). Right then and there could have been a major wreck if any cars had been directly behind him going at 70mph as they usually are on that highway on a Saturday.  He called me immediately and while he was still on the phone he told me the police had just arrived so they came on the scene very quickly.  About 5 mins later he called me back to say that his car had been hit from behind while he was still in it. Kenny still had his seatbelt on so he only hit his head on the wheel and was able to walk away with whiplash.  The other driver who was taken to hospital on a stretcher. Kenny did go to the hospital and x-rays and catscan showed that all is well. He will just be quite sore for a while.


Trumpets is tomorrow and this incident just emphasizes the great need for prayer for everyone as they travel during these fall holyday season.  I am very thankful for God's protection as without a doubt this could have ended up much worse than just our time with our 9-year old car coming to an end.

We hear or read the cliche all the time about making the most of life and letting people know you love them now. An experience like this makes it real that tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us.
