Smiling Down. . .

We know God is always looking down and smiling down on us, but certain times just stand out more that other, like yesterday and today.

Yesterday Kade’s class went on a field trip to the corn maize. He was so excited to go, and couldn’t wait. His cousin went the day before and gave him pointers and hints and reminded me to send him so money. I gave him $5, and Granny snuck and extra dollar in his pocket and off he went. When he got home he was excitedly telling us about all that they did there. He then told us that he bought a little fan and his buddy Cody only had $1, but lost it, and was very sad, so he gave him the $3 he had left. (How sweet) Then, another little boy was crying and very sad because his parents didn’t give him any money, so Kade gave him the little fan he bought for himself. . . .our precious child with a heart so big came home with nothing. My heart was breaking when he told me and looked at me with those big blue eyes and I just hugged him and told him how proud I was of him to be so kind and giving and that Jesus is definitely smiling down on him and very proud of him too.

It was very, very foggy this morning. I hate it when it’s this bad, but I just pray for the safety of all of us on the road.
There’s one area that I have to take a left off of a county road, across traffic on to the highway, usually not bad, but when it’s foggy it can be bad. So, I’m stopped at the stop sign, I turn the radio off and roll the windows down to help me hear if a vehicle was coming. I look to the right, it’s ok. . . . I look to the left, it’s ok . . . to the right again – car . . . . to the left again – car, car, car (could have been trucks, but car is shorter to type). Okay, it all looks ok now, so I say “Dear God, Please protect me”, and I go . . . . . I get across the highway on to the opposite shoulder and look in mirror and see headlights about a car length behind me, and I also see that the lights are at 18-wheeler, yes, I punched it and thanked the Dear Lord for protecting me.
When I got to town I saw that it was not only one 18-wheeler, but 3!!!! THREE BIG TRUCKS from the same company convoying. I definitely know the Lord was looking down on me this morning.
