Close Call

I just had a very scary experience, and am still shaking!! While driving home with my two boys, we almost hit a truck that ran a red light- I mean he really ran this light! We were on Lakeshore Ave, so we were going about 43 mph. I have never come so close in my life to getting in an accident- I slammed on my brakes as hard as I could, hit my horn and braced for impact. There was nothing else I could do, it was so fast. I don't know how in the world I didn't hit that truck, or how the car behind me missed us as well. This could have been so very bad, and to think that I had two, (& 1/2), of the most precious things with me in the car made me realize how lucky we were. If we would have hit that truck going that fast, I honestly believe that we would have been seriously hurt, or worse. I know that we were protected at that moment- there is no other explanation other than the Lord was watching over us and saved me, my boys and our little one on the way. I feel very blessed and thankful right now and know that we were watched over today. It felt good to get home and hug my boys- this really shook me up! Don't take life for granted and pay attention when you are driving!!
