Sometimes it’s crazy the things that can occur in a short span of two hours.  I was just at work, minding my own (and the boss’s) business, when I got a txt message from my daughter with this photo: 

Kelly and the three boys were on their way home from school when a young lady slammed into the back of the van.  Kelly hit the steering wheel and ended up with a mild but very painful concussion – but the boys thankfully were fine.  The van, on the other hand, is probably a total loss.

So I have been praying for my little mangled family and their search for new transportation and for healing – as well as safety.

I managed to get through my evening, but was delighted when I came home from work to find this on my front porch:  My old little mini fridge quit keeping things cold, so I broke down and ordered a new one – a tiny bit bigger and more of a temperature range.  I lugged the thing around back and got it into the house, and thankfully it was to stay in the family room on ground level – so no stairs.

So now the Pepsi, Kool-Aid Jammers, Mt. Dew, and mini-waters are all chillin’ out in the new fridge, and I am very happy with the results.  I’m still monitoring Kelly and the crazy crunchers but as I can’t really change that situation, I am focusing on the fact that God is taking care of them and knows even how many hairs are on their head (and how many I lost over this event!) and that my little fridge can put a smile on my face – and on theirs the next time they come up and need a cold, refreshing drink – especially Chase and the Kool-Aid Jammers!
