Gratitude
Gratitude is what a mother feels when she hears her 17-year-old son has been involved in an accident and walked away without a scratch.
Gratitude is what she feels when she hears someone in a neighboring trailer park vaulted a fence within 10 seconds of the crash to make sure her son was okay and offer him a pair of gloves to wear while he waited.
Gratitude is what that mother feels when she learns the car slide out of control on a patch of ice and careened into a power pole--and that the pole was designed with sheer-off bolts, so it gave way rather than stopping her son's car short.
Gratitude is what she feels when she learns the combination of hitting the pole, spinning, flipping on to the driver's side, and righting of the car resulted in the insurance company considering the vehicle totaled...
...but no airbags deployed...
and did I mention the boy didn't have a single scratch, ache, or pain?
I am that mom.

Thank You, Lord God, for Your mercy and protection over my son. Thank You that the only damage was to stuff. Thank You that, if we had lost him, he was ready to go. Thank You that You have preserved him for a future and a hope. You are so good!
Amen |
