Our Father Uses Fender Benders

Yesterday while on our way to visit the ever-popular Cayden Day, we had a bit of a fender bender. A young guy rammed us from behind because he assumed that we had already taken off at the yield to Bryant Irvin. He hit us fairly hard with Larissa, Stephanie, and Maylee in the backseat, and it gave them all quite the jostle. All of the girls are ok and we praise the Lord for that!! Larissa teared up afterwards and it spoke volumes. We are so thankful that our precious five week old was protected throughout the accident. It could have all gone so much worst, but in all of God's grace he saw once more to cover us from pending danger.

I know that from day to day that I continually forget how precious and fragile life is. That at any moment our lives can be transformed physically or mentally. A moment of indiscretion by ourselves or of another can turn our lives upside down. I need to live my life with an urgency. An urgency to tell others about Jesus Christ. An urgency to give hugs when possible. An urgency to take each day for the blessing that it truly is. I praise our Heavenly Father for reminders however jarring they might be. I pray that each day is kept in utter humbleness and reverence before a Father who watches over His little ones.
