Raising kids is scary. I constantly worry about their health and safety. I pray every night that the Lord bless them and protect them, and keep them safe and healthy. Many times I ask for things way more than I am thankful. However, tonight, I am so, so thankful.
I took my kids to my grandma's house for a garage sale my mom and Aunt were having. I knew it wold be tough since Jace is sooooo energetic and he's seriously into everything. I took some pictures and sat down briefly to post them onto Craiglsit.
A man had just bought something and went to leave. We were in the backyard, so he had to leave going around the side of the house to the front yard. I looked down for less than a minute, and that's when I heard
A squeal of tires
My son's speech
I dropped my phone and ran sprinting. A large SUV was stopped in the middle of the street and my little baby boy was standing in the road facing the side of the car. The woman inside of the car was cursing. I ran to Jace and scooped him up. I apologized to the woman. She literally thought she had hit my child. I kept apologizing. I really do watch my kids. I really was watching Jace....but that's Jace. He's fast, he's quick, he's smart, he's mischevious, and he's into everything. Accidents happen, and thank God the accident ended him leaving my sight for less than a minute.
My parents and Aunt were paralyzed in the backyard. No one wants to witness that. I took him inside to go potty. While inside the woman came back. She was in disbelief he was okay. She was terrified he ended up under her tire. After hearing her story, I know my nightly prayers are answered. I have no doubt that Jace was saved.
Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you guardian angels. Thank you for saving my baby boy today. Praise the Lord, in Jesus name. Amen.
