I can remember the image of this picture hanging on our living room wall growing up. It was a gift from my
Avo , my Grandmother Lena had bought for my mom at a small antique store many years ago.
Yesterday, my five year old Ryley Joe was having a little graduation ceremony from kindergarten, and my
niece Chelsea was in a play. My sister picked my son Liam and I up early in the morning to head out. My
children attend a small country school which is about 20 miles from our home. While traveling down the highway a pick up truck pulled out from a stop sign into our path, a semi truck to our left obsurced our view leaving us no time to stop....I have never been in a car accident before. My sister Rene was driving her minivan,
we slammed into the passenger side of the small truck. Rene jumped out and exclaimed the Angels were with
us....I know they were! We were ok just a few minor bumps and bruises, my son Liam was just a little shook
up. Thinking back I felt as if a bubble of protection engulfed us and something stopped us to keep the car from
rolling over. I thank my Heavenly Father for watching over us and I truly believe his angels came to our aid...
A little sore today, I have so much to be thankful for.....
Sorry to hear of your accident and so pleased that the angels were looking after you and your family

Car accidents are very scary! Yes I believe the angels were protecting you. Glad there were no serious injuries.
If you are sore, I don't know how you feel
about chiropractors, they help put everything
back in place.
Stay safe,
Andrea

So glad to know that your son, your sister and you are all ok. We never know, do we, when something terrible could happen? We are all in this together, so we've all been blessed with the outcome of this accident. Enjoy your precious son and I'll look forward to reading your posts again soon. Pat at birdnestontheground

you have brought tears to my eyes. This was a time when you knew the angels were there. I always think about the times when we are so protected we don't even realize, or don't give it a second thought that we were protected! We are so blessed. I hope that your soreness and shock will subside quickly. So glad that everyone is o.k. and give that little boy of yours an extra hug, (I'm sure you have many times). Thanks for the visit. I always love the little reassurances that what I make is well received. Have a good weekend!

So happy to hear you all are o.k. The angels surely were protecting you. I was once in a very major accident where my little car was crushed but I had only some temporary memeory loss from a concusion and a few very minor cuts and bruises and a very sore neck for some time. But to see my car you you would be amazed I survived. Thank the Lord for his many blessings!!

Awwww, I'm so glad you're okay. I was in a serious car accident. Rolled 4 times in my SUV going 70mph on a 4 lane highway. Drunk driver cut me off. I was care-flighted and took many months to walk again. So I know what you're talking about. I knew the angels were with me that day. And I'm so sorry it happened to you. And funny enough that print use to hang over my favorite Aunt's bed. It was huge and I recall loving it as a small child. I have a smaller version of it I found @ an antiques store too. Sorry for the book... Again, glad you're alright. :SIGH:
