Dear God,

When I awakened this morning, I did not know this was the day you would literally save my life.  I was in eight lanes of rush hour traffic.  I had just come off one interstate and was merging onto another in the far right lane when out of nowhere a driver riding on the shoulder to my right sideswiped me and kept on going, a hit and run.  You whispered, "Say aloud all you know about the car."  Dirty black car with a little silver H on the trunk, license plate TVR710.  I said it about four times when I was still driving, watching the car going about 80 MPH weave in and out of traffic.  I called the police and drove off the next exit.  While sitting there waiting for the police to arrive, I reflected how there had been cars in front, to the side and back of me when the car hit me.  Inches either way, I could have been thrust into other cars or pushed to the side where the concrete wall stood.  You saved me and all others around me!

Thank you

for the gift

of life,

O God.

Thank you

for sparing

my life

and all

the other cars

on the highway.

Thank you

for placing

the errant driver

on my heart

so I

can pray

for him

or her.

Love, Andrea
