A "God Wink"

This morning, I walked 4 miles with my sweet friends, Katie, Kathy, Nancy and Diana. I arrived home around 9 am and my husband Tim called. Our son Kyle and our French exchange student Camille, were in a crash going north on I-5 around Avery Pkwy. The kids were in the HOV lane and someone illegally crossed over the double yellow line and hit them. All of the airbags went off, but Kyle managed to keep the car from going down the embankment and rolling. They took Kyle to the hospital for observation. The CHP cited the other driver and both cars had to be towed away. Kyle was later discharged.

I sat down with the phone...still in my hand...long after my husband had hung up promising to call back and update me about Kyle. I sat with my eyes closed and thanked God for keeping the kids under His wings and safe. A God wink! This was a BIG wink! Usually, there are many "God winks in a day...some you don't even notice. It could have been a day our entire lives changed forever...but God blessed us with the wink to let us know He is there with us.
