Watch out for mine...

I just experienced an amazing miracle. I was planning on going out with my kids yesterday. My neighbor, a single mother, left town to take care of errands, and left her three children, aged eleven, six, and three, at home on their own. Even though the eleven year old is responsible enough to watch her younger brothers, it's not so pleasant to be home alone for so many hours. I wasn't sure I could handle two families at the trampoline place I was taking my kids to, but my husband encouraged me to take them along with me and give them a good time.

We had a wonderful time at the outing, and the kids all enjoyed themselves. It was challenging to watch seven kids at the place, with only my mother in law to help me, but it worked out well in the end.

As we were leaving, about to get into the two taxis I had called to take us home, suddenly a car came driving backwards at full speed, crashing into one of the taxis and propelling it forward. The taxi careened out of control, pushing down my mother-in-law, who was with us.

My mother-in-law suffered trauma to her knees and was quite shaken up, but had no broken bones and was able to come home from the hospital within a few hours. All of the children walked away from the accident, frightened, but completely unscathed. As I was going home in the taxi, the driver kept saying over and over, 'it was such a miracle that I was there! If the taxi would not have been there to intercept the out of control car, some children would have been hit, and severely injured, or worse.

I cannot get over this amazing miracle. I am sure that because I worried about Hashem's children, He protected mine.
