Grateful to Be Here
Last night my fiancé and I had decided to go out for once after our daughter was in bed. It’s the easiest way for my parents to watch after her, and I have less to worry about. On the way there my fiancé noticed an odd noise happening to our truck. He definitely didn’t lead me to believe that there was something seriously wrong with our truck. Upon coming off the high way it was apparent that whatever had happened was going to cause us to not move anymore. The truck jerked and sputtered, we somehow managed to not only make it off the major high way but also into a Pizza Hut parking lot.
Where my fiancé discovered that one our 2 wheel drive car, the axel had broken. Meaning our car was being dragged along by one wheel. As he’s explaining to me what happened he explained that we shouldn’t have made it this far. If the wheel that has lost control has moved any our car would no longer be up right.
I have a very hard relationship with God, but that’s the only explanation I can come to. Under God’s divine grace, we were lucky enough to make it home. This morning I am feeling quite overwhelmed at the thought of our sweet daughter waking up to both of her parents being gone. I’m so grateful to be here and to be able to be her mommy.
Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, often leading us to a deeper appreciation of the moments that truly matter. Recently, I encountered an alarming incident while driving with my fiancé. As we enjoyed a rare night out after tucking our daughter into bed, we faced a mechanical failure in our vehicle that could have resulted in a far worse outcome. Miraculously, we made it to safety, which made me reflect on how precious life is, especially in the context of motherhood and family. This experience prompted me to acknowledge the grace present in our lives, despite the struggles we may face. It’s crucial for parents, particularly, to realize the importance of being grateful—not merely for the good times, but also for the lessons and challenges that mold our character. Every moment spent with loved ones is a gift that should not be overlooked, especially in our fast-paced lives. The surreal truth of that night reaffirms my commitment to cherish the time I have with my daughter, reminding me that our relationships are the true wealth in our lives. In addition, this incident serves as a reminder that divine protection can come in the most unexpected forms, as we navigate the journey of parenthood with faith and love.
