Just a Hot fudge sundae and a vanilla ice cream cone and GOD!

A Hot Fudge Sundae and an Ice Cream Cone were Life Savers to us!
Life Savers, you say? Yes!
Bob and I were on our way home from Tennesee after I had been there for the birth of our 7th grandchild. We were driving straight thru and had left early morning. We had about an hour and 15 minutes to go....not that far, but I wanted to stop. I have a bad knee and need to stretch my legs ever so often. But it was just a little over an hour, but I asked Bob if we could stop to get a treat so I could walk around for a few minutes. He was not too excited about stopping as he was tired and wanted to get home, but being the loving Husband that is, we made the stop. We stopped at McDonalds and got some ice cream. It was a refreshing stop of about 15 minutes.
As we began again on our last miles to home, we saw 3 Hi Way Patrol cars coming down the other side of the road and cross over to our side. They were going up to what appeared to be an accident. As we went further, we came upon a horrible accident. There was a body lying on the road covered with a blanket, a burned car,several wreacked cars and several people sitting stunned alongside the road. We estimate the time of the accident to be about 15 minutes before we came up on it...the exact time of our stop at McDonalds!So now you get my reasoning about a Hot Fudge Sundae and an Ice Cream Cone!
Now, I know that it was not the ice cream,nor my bad knee, nor any other reason, except GOD that saved our lives.If it had not been for God, we would have been in that accident where, by the way, there were 2 fatalities. Oh we are not better than those people who were involved on the accident, it was just not our time yet so we were under His Divine protection.
Do not 2nd guess yourself, if you feel like you are to stop or not go or wait. It is more than likely the Lord, speaking to your heart.
My borther sent me this e mail the other day so I am going to include it here.


THE LITTLE THINGS (as sent to me by my brother)



As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.


Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.


One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn't go off in time.


One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.


One of them
Missed his bus.


One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.


One's
Car wouldn't start.


One went back to
Answer the telephone.

One had a
Child that dawdled
And didn't get ready as soon as he should have.


One couldn't
Get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man

Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,

Took the various means to get to work

But before he got there, he developed

a blister on his foot.

He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.


Now when I am
Stuck in traffic ,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone ...
All the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself,
This is exactly where
God wants me to be
At this very moment...

Next time your morning seems to be
Going wrong ,
The children are slow getting dressed,
You can't seem to find the car keys,
You hit every traffic light,
Don't get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you
With all those annoying little things
And may you remember their possible purpose.

Remember, my Friend, the Bible tells us that the steps of a good man(or woman) are ordered by the Lord. Walk in Him! Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In our your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path!
