God's Protection

Hello to everyone. I would like to just brag on my Lord for a little while. Yesterday, the weather was quite bad here. My husband was driving to church with my son Zach and two other teen boys from church when he hit black ice. He was coming up on two cars that were turned the opposite way, so he tried to slow down, but instead the truck started weaving back and forth. He hit both cars, they were stopped and blocking both lanes, and then spun and hit the concrete abutment. The airbags deployed and -praise the Lord- no one was hurt. Mark's truck sustained the most damage. We believe it is totalled.He and Zach both have slight cuts on the tops of their heads from the airbags deploying. Zach has a ringing ear from the air bag. I think this is due to his ear sensitivity from his eardrum bursting when he was about 5. Mark is also bruised and sore on the left side of his body, including a sore and weak wrist and a very sore and sensitive knee. The other boys from our church, Ben and Dominic, are both doing well. Dom bumped his chin and has a slight abrasion on it; Ben bumped his knee(not surprising with his long legs) and is fine. There were over 67 crashes in Calgary alone that day. Not to mention all over the province.
We are thankful that he was driving a truck and not the church van. No telling how bad the injuries would have been then, because there were six other vehicles involved, five of which were trucks as well. The whole front end of the truck is smashed in as well as the driver's side.
Our missions conference starts on Sunday. We know the Devil would love to ruin it before it even starts. I am looking forward to what God is going to do this coming week.
Today I am busy getting things ready for the conference and our company. Pastor Keenan is staying with us and I am making meals for all the missionaries (15-20) each night. I feel like time is running out, but I know the Lord will give me the strength to finish what needs to be done in time. I will try to write again when the week is complete.
