Thankful Thursday – The Unpredictable
Some things in life are predictable, like the time you get up in the morning or the time you have lunch. It’s the things that are unpredictable that cause us to be thankful at times and that’s exactly what happened to my family last week.
My father-in-law and his girlfriend were headed to the lake for a long holiday weekend when the camp trailer they were hauling began to fish tail. The story itself could take a lot of words to cover, so I’ll take you the short of it all. When it was all said and done, the camp trailer came to rest in the ditch and the truck they were driving came to rest facing the wrong direction on the other side of the road.
The trailer was destroyed, but the thankful part is they were ok. Neither of them were injured and the truck they were driving didn’t roll with the trailer. The only thing that saved them from rolling was that the trailer came disconnected from the truck. They were both pretty shook up about the situation, but who wouldn’t be?
The image in this post is what’s left of their camp trailer after the accident. I’m thankful and I praise God they had angels around them to protect them and keep them safe.

I’m so sorry this happened to your family, but I’m relieved they are okay. Angels were definitely keeping them safe.
