The day began with laughter and fun,
time spent with family and eating a ton
We played some cards and watched the game,
before we knew it the time to go came
So we said our goodbyes and got in the car
Thankful we wouldn't be driving too far
But everything changed within a flash
The next thing we knew, we were in a car crash
Headlights, screeches, spinning and screams
I feared goodbyes and broken dreams
Please God no, don't let us die
were the thoughts in my head as I let out a cry
My baby's in the back, I'm afraid to know
But as I turned around to see him
God's protection would show
That He was right there with us carrying us through
He would not forsake us for His word is true
He had us in his care that night
Though the roads were pitch black,
we could only see His light
We escaped with only minor injuries
Our thankfulness continually brings us to our knees
Thank you Jesus for keeping us safe, thank you for your refuge, protection and loving faithfulness.

Well written, that brought tears to my eyes. No matter how many times I see those pictures, it's still is so shocking. I love the verse about the Eagles Wings.
Mary, I was sick when I got an e-mail from your mom (this morning) telling me you had been in an accident. I'm so grateful you were protected. What a thanksgiving with much to be grateful for.
You did an amazing job putting your thoughts into words. I never knew you had such a talent.
