An amazing day!

Today has been a truly amazing day! Scott, the kids and I had a family day at the water park at Kings Island. It was great, although I had a bucket of water poured on my head a million times by Austin and burnt shoulders, I had a blast with my kids and my awesome husband!



On our way home from Kings Island we seen two cars collide into each other. It was horrible. As we started to past them I seen the lady turned around in the drivers seat checking on her newborn child. Scott immediately pulled over and I called 911. The lady in the car with the infant child pulled out of the road into Steak n Shake's parking lot to get a better look at her children. Scott and I pulled in front of the van that was hit. We got out of the car and walked up to the van to see if everyone was okay in that car. The women was really shaken up, she had four children all under the age of 7. Her youngest daughter (2) was thrown out of her car seat. The little girl was fine, I think it was because she was in a van. Thank GOD no one was hurt in either car. Scott went over to see if the lady with the baby was okay I was to scared to go, I would not been able to bear it if the baby was hurt so I stayed with the lady in the van. As I was standing there with the lady, her kids were all complaining of being hungry. She told me she was on her way to McDonald's to get the kids something to eat. McDonald's was maybe 50 feet from where she wrecked. I let the lady use my phone to call her sister to come get them (her van was being towed) After Scott got back and made sure every one in the second vehicle was OK we talked to the officer and made sure it was okay to leave. The little kids were still talking about being hungry as I was walking away. As soon as Scott and I got back in the car, I told him we needed to go to McDonald's to get the kids something to eat. Scott didn't blink an eye or argue with me. He drove straight to the drive through and we took it back to the kids. It was the best ten dollars I have ever spent. As I got out of the car, the kids eyes lit up to see us come back, the eyes got bigger when they seen me with the bags of food and drinks. The smiles one there face brought tears to my eyes. The mother was down talking to the tow truck people who had just arrived. I stopped by the kids and told them, I had to make sure it was okay with there mommy that I gave them their food. When there mom seen me with the food in my hands, she had tears in her eyes. I smiled and told her that I thought it would be awhile for things to calm down so we decided to bring them back something while they were waiting for the tow truck and their ride. She told me it was fine and thanked me a million times. The kids lit up again when I handed them the bags of food and their drinks. As I was passing out the food, I asked them if they liked going to Church and if they would like to come visit our Church with us sometime. The kids got so excited and starting telling me how much fun, Church was and that they loved Sunday school. About this time their Aunt pulled up to pick up the kids and the mother was walking back towards us. She came straight to us and asked how much she owed us for the food. I said you don't owe us a thing. The joy on those kids face to see that someone cared was more than enough for me. Scott asked the mother if her and the kids would like to come to Church with us sometime. She said yes and the kids would love that! Scott explained where Center Pointe was and how awesome the Church is. He told her that tomorrow would be a great day to go. She told us that she might just do that. She thanked us a million times more for taking the time to stop and then bringing back some food for the kids. As Scott and I were pulling away, we talked about how great it felt to do something nice for others. I don't know if that lady and her children will come to Center Pointe or another Church, but I do know that what happened today wasn't mine or Scott's doing, It was Jesus.



The day did not stop there! Driving home from the accident, Scott and I started talking about the baptism and decided we really need to make something special happen for Robin. I cant say what it is in case she reads this but Scott made the call and everything came together! I am so pumped up about the baptism's tomorrow and I am not even one of the 16 getting baptised... But this morning, Scott and I were talking about the baptism and Austin told us he was ready. So my little boy is getting baptised! How cool is that!!!! And then tomorrow night John is doing the first training on home groups!!! I cant wait!!!!



I see so clearly now. God wanted us to grow more in Christ and he brought us to Center Pointe. I am thankful every day that we are apart of such an amazing Church!
