Our Good Friday

This morning mama and I took off for a shopping trip to Exit 7 with plans to meet Carrie and kiddos. It was very apparent that God had other plans, some that we would have like to fore go. At the traffic light, in Lebanon, a lady to the right of us and whose light was red did not stop and by the time we saw her it was too late for me to stop...we collided. Thanks to mama calling 911 help arrived quickly and in the meantime some very attentive witnesses were there to check on us. From there the rescue squad arrived and jotted down some basic info. Then they urged us, despite us telling them we were not injured, to have a doctor check us out. Thus we were ushered into an ambulance and to the RCMC. We had a few x-rays taken and thankfully they were clear. Mama is quite sore from the seat belts restraining power and my lower lip has seen better days; as for the other driver she was not seriously injured either.
The Vibe-erator, however, was seriously injured and was towed by the closest wrecker service. They were backed up and ready for action before we were even out of the car!
Somewhere between the collision and when we stopped rolling the rear view mirror flew off (I say flew because now I realize when you are in a wreck nothing 'comes' off but flies). I offered it to dad as a souvenir but he declined...it remains where you see it. Mama's glasses ended up in the floor beside my seat...Notice the spider web-like pattern on the window...Although this Good Friday was not good in the way we would have liked it was good in God's goodness towards us in sparing our lives! Thank you does not seem enough but it is the word that I have said over and over today...for God would have been just as good if he had not spared my (our) lives today. Like the simple child's prayer, "God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him..."
