joy in not driving with my left foot

Last evening before supper I must have thought I didn't have enough stress in my life so I accelerated instead of braked as I brought the van into the carport. The woodpile absorbed the shock of the impact of the crash which shook the house. Everyone came running to see what happened. The van seems basically fine and will get checked out on Monday. I came off with a very sore left foot, mostly in the instep. I will hobble around today at the Unite in Worship conference which I had arranged to attend from August. I get to hear famous worship leaders and attend electives in various things to help me be a better worship leader. Tonight I will also see a dear friend in that area who is attending the concert given by Robin Mark. God is good. I will still get there.

My sister is staying at our place for her own reasons and she will be available to my husband when my daughters go to Toronto by bus tomorrow to join me there in the evening for other engagements for them on Sunday. God took care of us in the crash and is taking care of Jim. The doctor says he didn't have a real mini stroke in that it didn't show in the brain scan, but he is being put on preventative treatments and will see a specialist next week finally.

So except for my sore foot I am feeling excited about the conference and relieved about Jim and so grateful to my Heavenly father and His host of angels who took care of me last night. Mind you my foot is sore and I am sure glad that it is my right foot I use in driving. I will be driving my own smaller car so I trust my right foot will perform better than it did last night!!!!

I like this poem and agree with it....so despite all the worries I mused about lately, I am rejoicing today:

Overheard in an Orchard

Said the Robin to the Sparrow
"I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so."

Said the Sparrow to the Robin
"Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me."

Elizabeth Cheney

Blessings and protection for you too today!!
