In All Things Give Thanks

"In All Things Give Thanks"

It's 5 A.M. another day.
That clock!   It didn't ring!
Slow as I am    what can I say... 
My behind's in a sling!

I've got to hurry! Where's my Keys!
The water's COLD!! Good Grief!
No toilet paper...Where's my Keys!
Run in my hose...Good Grief!

The toast burning...Where's my Keys!
"Yes Sir, I'm on my way."
Well, true if I could find my keys...
What's in this coffee--Hey!!

Who would have thought...I found my Keys!
Oh no! You've got to start.
Oh, come on baby. Pretty please...
Yes! Now! Off to Wal-Mart!

Cain't show with a run in my hose.
Oops! I better slow down...
Doin' 20 over...on the nose.
Now what! Just move around!

This isn't Sunday don't you know!
Come on! Get off the road!
You gonna drive or watch a show!
Where's your card you old toad?!

Get the ...well now  that's more like it.
I'm just gonna be late.
Thought I's gonna have to hike it...
Could have been there at this rate! 

What's all those flashing lights ahead?
          'A multiple car crash...
          Said, sev'ral people may be dead'...
Everywhere    there was trash.

It's 9 A.M. this very same day.
That clock...it didn't ring...
          Or I'd be up there--dead--I'd say...
Had not Angles 'fixed' things.

Joyce Johnson March 31, 2012 at 12:07 PM We can't ever know how and when they have protected us until something like this happens. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2012 at 11:08 AM yes, this is how they protect us sometimes~ my friend was hit SIDEWAYS and if it had been a SPLIT second sooner, the car coming at her would have hit HER by the door. But it hit right in front of her feet and took the front hood of her car. Such amazing things. Love how you did your entry!

Kim Merryman March 31, 2012 at 10:06 AM I've had days like that, too, and didn't stop to think maybe God was saving me from a disaster. A very good write, Deborah. Love, Kim

Sara Kendrick March 31, 2012 at 5:50 AM Great way to express the point..I have had several of these happenings in my life so I feel that God has left me here for a purpose..I don't know what but I am sure that he does.Thanks for stopping by...Sara
