God's protection
You never know what a day will bring. Yesterday we left our house around noon for South Carolina. Last night at around 8:45 we were about two hours away from David's parents and got in an accident. We collided with a tractor trailer, spun around, went into the median and ended with the trailer of the semi hitting the left side of the van, blowing out the windows. It was all quite terrifying, of course. Thankfully, no one is hurt except for a few little cuts, just very shaken. God's hand was upon us and protected us from flipping over. The rescue workers were so kind. One of them took me and the kids to a truck stop after we had sat in her truck for about an hour. The people at the truck stop brought us food, water, coloring books, and just kept asking if there was anything we needed. So this Christmas, God has shown us His mercies in a whole new way! Life can change or end in a blink of an eye! God is a merciful and forgiving God. We praise Him for the gift of His Son who has saved us and continues to hold us.

Praise God you are all ok. How frightening that must have been. I know there would have been a party in Heaven had you gone home, but I'm SO thankful that heaven is partying without you! We need to have a party when you get back to DE to celebrate our life on earth! So does this mean you have to get a new van? Talk to Turley...he's trying out new van's courtesy of D. Williams!
I thought I already left a comment but I will try again. I am so glad you are safe! That must have been scary.
Thinking of you,
