Divine Intervention

*True Story I’ve had many instances of divine intervention in my life But, this one stands out in my mind forever It was a snowy day, only a few inches had fallen I went with a friend in a van to a store I was driving slowly, when suddenly I saw… A car spinning out of control ahead of me It re-bounded off the guardrail on my side of the road Then it came straight at us with alarming speed I slowly stepped on the brakes, to not spin out too I had stopped right on the yellow line, avoiding the other lane The other driver slammed into the right front corner of the van The van was totaled, but we only had minor injuries, including him The next day I was at the rental car business for a car to drive A woman was talking to the customer service person at the counter She was saying, someone with my plates had saved her husband’s life If I had not been there to stop him, he would have gone off the cliff I told her, that is me and she thankfully hugged me in tears!

Congratulations on your win Heidi! I have had a similar experience on a snowy mountain road while traveling to lead a retreat! I know God stopped my spinning car at the edge of the highway. Sending you many blessings! :)!

It is truly amazing when God shows up! Heidi this poem has a gut punching impact. Not only did God save you and the other driver, but arranged a meeting so you could be blessed by your part in the miracle. Best of wishes for the contest. Blessings!
