We left four kids at a friend’s house and headed to the grocery store.
The mom joked if we weren’t back in 48 hours, she would sell the kids.
We advised her that Fritz should fetch a good price, since he was a good worker.
Ten minutes later, we were nearly hit head on by a driver who inexplicably crossed into our lane.
As Bill calmly got back on the road, I asked him, “How’s your adrenaline level?”
“Oh, it’s pumping,” he replied.
Mine was, too. It’s amazing to me how in those split seconds there isn’t time to think. You just react. After a minute, I was able to thank God for His protection. I think, had we been hit, I might not have thought to pray.
My friend assured me she wouldn’t really have sold the kids.
It’s small wonder that my husband was pondering heavy topics last night. Lest you think I have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old, I’d like to say that I don’t always break out in song when discussing death.
I only do it when it’s funny.

Thank God it was only a near death experience!And I say this earnestly, because you are like family to me, and I shudder to think of what could have happened.
Thank God, indeed!!!
My adrenaline would STILL be pumping!!Glad you are both OK!
Thank God your husband has such keen instincts! I’m so glad to hear you’re okay…though, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of sore muscles today. That sort of tensening can make you feel like you’ve run a marathon. Be sure to get checked if you feel any discomfort in your head, neck, or back. I’ve just got to find a box big enough and then your package will be one it’s way.
Yikes! Oh my goodness, what a scare. Thanks be to God you were ok.
So glad to hear that you guys are okay! I think that I would still be up at night!My biggest fear is that if something happened to both of us, what would happen to the boys. My solace is that God would take care of them, but boy is it scary!
Welcome back to the DC metro area driving challenge! Thanks be to God you are OK. Driving around here is reason enough to pray without ceasing!
Thank God you’re okay! That made my legs go numb for a moment.
