I took the girls on a walk this morning to the park and made plans to lunch with Mr. Wonderful. We followed our usual route but on the way saw some strange things
--a gaggle of police cars and an ambulance outside one residence,
firetrucks racing out of the fire station as we passed,
a house with a gas leak...
just a lot going on for one morning in this sleepy town. After lunch with Mr. W we headed back home and had only walked about a block when I heard a loud
**BOOMSIZZLEBOOM**
I looked directly across the street from us and a LARGE power line had snapped and was draped across the entire sidewalk directly across the street! It stretched nearly a block and was laying on cars and bikes and trashcans--exactly where we would have been if I had crossed the street like I normally do.
It was strange because there was no wind, it's a nice warm but not boiling day--no limbs had snapped--NOTHIN!
It made me take a deep breath and say a prayer of thanks to God for keeping us safe--cherish every single moment today and every day that you are blessed with...cause you never know what's around the corner...or just down the sidewalk!
I am so thankful for the Lord's protection and the fact that He watches over His children!
ReplyDeleteI have learned to thank God for every unwanted red light, lost shoe, misplaced keys....He is good, ALL the time!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy stuff! Glad you crossed the street:)
