Love in Action and Happy Tears.

POW...."Mommy...why did that truck do that ? Why did it hit us Mommy?

ME....Screaming...feet on the dashboard trying to brace myself...."He didn't honey ! That was our tire popping like a balloon!"

My husband, as he swerves to the side of the road, "oh man, oh man, oh man..."

Frazzled, Mike gets out and begins trying to access the spare...He starts SCREAMING! A pain scream! My adrenaline is on super charge like an espresso just hit my blood stream! On the phone with highway patrol...I am yelling now..."What happened????" Standing next to him lying on the ground next to speeding cars....My mind is racing...did he get hit, burnt, what ?

"It won't come off...it won't come off!" (talking about the spare)....My poor hubby! We were up until 1am last night moving our stuff from one storage unit to another. We have downsized our stuff and needed less space! I could almost touch his stress, it was tangible!

A car is stopping...a man gets out and walks towards us. He instructs his wife and son to take his and Mikes back, so traffic would be aware that two men were in a vulnerable situation.

My two year old is in tears!" Help me...help me!"...she wants out! I realize her terror and rush to comfort her!

The man begins to talk to me, asking me if I am okay...I tell him I am, I have just been in my share of wrecks and I tend to overreact! He assured me that he and his wife had also seen there fair share of road mishaps. His wife had wanted to come check on me but could see I was shaken, and she was shaken as well...they had witnessed it all! She did not want to magnify it, so she did not.

As I sat on the floorboard of the passenger seat comforting my daughter, Mike and the man came over smiling...everything was in place. We could resume our journey. Mike was calling highway patrol to let them know, we were good. The man leaned over and said "Here" and stuck some money in my hand, "Our kids are grown, please..we want to be a blessing!" I squeaked out a thank you and he walked off as the tears began to well in my eyes! Hot tears streaming down my cheeks, my chest began to heave as uncontrollable healing waves of sobs poured out of a deep place inside of me! As I let out each sob a comforting peace would infill my being more and more! Mike dropped the phone when he saw me! "What happened???" His turn to be startled, he noticed enough cash for a brand new tire in my hand and he too sobbed the same sob as I! We both stood there and wept as we realized we had been ambushed by God's love in action at a time where we both NEEDED to be!

My daughter asked her Daddy why we were crying, and he said...."We are just in awe at God's miracles, honey! Happy Tears!"
