My word for June 25th is Weekend
This weekend was full of many different emotions. I spent Friday night with a long time
friend where we spent hours talking, visiting and laughing. We ate and talked, ate and talked. Now we both need to begin a diet. Saturday morning I got up, got my coffee
going, went outside on the back porch, when I heard a motorcycle pull up. My brother drove two hours to see
me. We sat out on the back porch
looking out across the lake relaxing and visiting, something that we don’t ever
do. Much needed talk time for both
of us. Then of course all the
college kids started to pour in, what’s to eat, where are we going, do you have
enough life jackets, be careful, being a mother of college kids SCARY!!!! Then the high school kids are off, not
as much to worry about or so I thought.
Our youngest a senior and her friends decided to try out a new rope
swing, only for her to be left hanging.
Her boyfriend and another kid on the bank jumped in to lift her and somehow
get the rope untangled. How? He
doesn’t know. The adrenaline went
into play as it does in a critical emergency situation. That is one of those freak accidents
you hear about, you don’t want to experience. Not the relaxing non-excitement weekend I had hoped for,
however many blessings. Blessed to
have family, blessed to have children that are smart and kind, blessed to have
friends, blessed for my children to have good friends, blessed to have a place
to go to escape, blessed to be blessed.
Today we could have been dealing with something tragic after
yesterday’s events, however we all made it home safely. We were discussing the rope accident
and Anna just knew there was someone else that helped Regan get the rope off,
but Regan says, “no”. Anna finally
looked at me and said, “Mom it must have been Jesus!” Praise God for Jesus.
If Anna thinks it was Jesus let her think it was Jesus, who knows. It was defiantly a God thing. God has more in store for this little 5 foot 3, 100 pound spitfire. When things like this happen it stops
us in our tracks, stops us and makes us thankful for the little things in
life. Today I am thankful,
thankful for Jesus lifting my little girl out of the water so that Regan could
get the rope off her neck. She is
left with a scar around her neck and the remembrance of fear, but also the
faith that Jesus was behind her living.
Dear Lord thank you for blessings, thank you for being here
for us always. Thanks be to Jesus
for saving my little girl. Your works
are amazing and wonderful. We are
thankful for your angels that wrap their shining wings around us in days of
trouble. During this
year of 2012 may we be blessed with abundant blessings.
Hebrews 10:9 NIV
Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will,” He
sets aside the first to establish the second
Psalm 24:5 He
shall receive a blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his
salvation.
