The Automobile Accident

[secondtimearound]

 

 

It was several years ago, and wife and I were leaving in my car to drive about 5o miles to

go to a shop that we wanted to visit. But before we left I decided to pray for a safe little trip 

for wife and myself, and I also prayed for our fellow travelers.  At the end of it I prayed these

things to God in the name of Jesus. That was how I was taught to pray.

 

We left then in the later morning, and we had gone maybe six or seven miles when we went

around a curve, and I saw a truck heading from the opposite direction with four cars right behind it, coming to go by my left side.

Then I saw a sedan speeding in the lane I occupied right towards my car, and it was passing them in my lane.

There was no where for me to go but forward, but I slowed down. The sedan was coming towards me very fast, but

 it tried to go some to it's right so to try to miss me and also the vehicles it was passing.  I heard the sound of it hitting the

left side of my vehicle, mostly hitting my left fender, and my tire. It also hit one of the vehicles it was passing. It

zoomed on and was soon out of sight. Wife and I wondered if we were hurt, and also how badly our car was hurt. My car was stopped

on the road in our correct lane. Then people stopped and asked if we were OK.  Our car was damaged and was going nowhere until

it was fixed up. Wife and I seemed to be OK, but I had for a few minutes this pain in my back, which I thought must be from the 

accident. I called the police telephone number and reported what happened and we awaited them.

 

In a few minutes the lady came to us from the car that hit us. She was  OK, but her car was not. We thought

she had run from the scene, but her car was not able to run off even if she had intended to do so. I told the officer 

just what happened, and so did a fine witness who saw it all and stayed to tell the officer. Our car was taken to the

car dealer where in time it was totally restored. Wife and I had no lasting health issues. In court, our insurance people

told the owner of the car that hit us that they would sue if they did not pay to have my car fixed up, and so they did that.

Thank you God! Thank you Jesus! We resumed our life giving thanks.

Hi @secondtimearound  Glad you were mercifully preserved. Psalm 121 is apt.
