One More Thing about the Accidents
I wondered when my husband bought those cars. Sure, he got them at an auction and consequently got a great deal, but what does a kid need that kind of car for? Shouldn't they drive a clunker?
In case anyone is wondering, both accidents were in Chevy S-10 Blazers. My husband had a GMC Jimmy for years--same car. We found a Jimmy at an auction right after my son's accident, and we'll be watching for another Jimmy or Blazer. As my husband says, "We crash tested two of them in the last month!" and "Things can be replaced, people can't."

Dear God,
Thank You for giving my husband wisdom in this area, and for directing him to the right vehicles.
Thank You for the ordeals my children have been through, and for preserving them through bad weather and inexperience.
Thank You that my husband was able to get to my son within a short time of his accident here in town.
Thank You that my daughter was not alone out in the country, two hours from home. And thank You that my husband hadn't left for work yet, and my other children were able to get home quickly, so we could all go on short notice. Thank You that the parents of the twins who were riding with my daughter were also able to get there shortly after we arrived.
Thank You for all five of my children, for each trial they will traverse, for Your love for each one. Thank You for the calling You have placed on each one. Help me to be patient as You carry them through trials, or fears, or doubt. May each adversity only make them stronger and more tenacious. Lead them to truly be Christ followers.
Amen |
