There's a First For Everything, So They Say

Would you believe that I've never been in a car accident? . . . Up until this past year that is. Around last Thanksgiving time we went to my cousin's house, and on the way home we hit a deer. But still, that was only a loud thump and a sudden jerk to a stop, and besides the fact that we had to drive home with our car light scanning the treetops above us instead of the road, no one was hurt and we were all good. Shaken but good. Until today. . . . My mom and I were driving into a Meijer's parking lot when another driver rammed straight into the side of our car, sending us spinning out. The side of our car is crumpled inward, and the front tire on the other side got blown out. But God really had His hand on us this time, and neither my mom or I were seriously harmed. Both of us are finding aches and pains in different places all over us, and I bumped my head against the dashboard, but that is it.

But when you think about it, please pray for the other driver. Even though she wasn't harmed, and our car got by far the worst of the beating, she didn't seem so secure mentally or spiritually. She was about my age or possibly younger, and this was her first accident ever. She had never even gotten a ticket before. So please pray for her.

Thanks.
