Car

I got the dreaded phone call this afternoon from my son.  You know, the "mom, I was just in a car accident" kind of phone call.  So, immediately I left my workout and headed to the scene.  He had assured me that he was ok and so was the other driver.  But, until I could see it for myself, thoughts invaded my mind.  The longest 10 minutes was filled with prayers for everyone to be ok.
When I got there, I saw that he was very shaken, but not injured.  His car, on the other hand, wasn't driveable   The other vehicle was driveable and the driver seemed fine.  I'm sure he'll have a few aches and pains tomorrow.  But, nothing serious.  We went to the hospital this evening- probably more for peace of mind than anything else.  Everything checked out fine.
He is going to have a lot of things to pay without a lot of income.  He has a lot of things to figure out in the near future.  He is one that learns things the hard way.  The stereo he just bought seems of little importance now that he'll have to figure out how to get another car.  But, sometimes, we only realize things after we experience them.
I know he probably got tired of hearing it today.  But, all I can say is that I am so grateful to God for keeping my son safe.  Cars can be replaced.  Bills and money come and go.  But, my son is everything to me and I don't know where I would be if I lost him.
So, where was God today?  He protected my son from getting injured.
Blessings,
