Our Day

I was awakened this morning by a phone call to meet Mike at the ER. To make a long story short, a machine bucket pointing downward came straight down on his foot and broke three bones in his foot. (We find out tomorrow morning if he will need surgery.) As the Dr. put it, Mike is actually lucky, because his steel-toed boots saved his foot from being completely crushed. Also, had the bucket fallen even 1-2 inches further up his foot, it would have separated the foot and leg entirely! We feel extremely blessed. Without a doubt, there is a reason that this morning as Mike walked out the door, he had a distinct impression (which he followed) to come back inside the house, kneel down and pray for safety today. I know without a doubt, that the Lord heard his prayers and spared his foot. And though we may face some disappointments and missed opportunities in the next few days, I will count my blessings.
