Advents Corner

I was taking Michaela to her Christmas concert last night and we were stopped in the turn lane at a red light at US 301 and Boyette Road.  When the light turned green two cars in front of us started through the intersection when another car ran the red light.  The first car slammed his brakes on to miss the car running the light and he did but the second car slammed right into him.  I pulled along side the second car to ask if he was ok when I saw the driver holding his head and passing out.  His car started going backwards so I jumped out of the van ran around, opened the guy’s door, and threw his car in park stopping it before it hit the car behind him.  When I pulled my head out of the car I turned and a man was walking up to me and I asked him to call 911 then when I looked at him it was Don. 

Don and Barb were also on their way to Michaela’s concert so the car I saved from being hit was Barb’s car.  Isn’that just so crazy?  I could not believe I did that, it happened so fast.  I looked back at the van and Michaela was just looking at me her eyes as big as quarters and Lani was still watching Little Einstein’s.    I had a super hero moment if only a brief one.  I could not believe I actually did something like that.  I could not believe I just did not point and say his car is rolling backwards.  I guess that was my good deed for the day.  It was two boys about Michaela’s age and they both new each other.  The guy that hit his head was fine.

This goes to show how much we love our children and how we do not care how stupid we look when we are with them.  When Lani and I go to the grocery store we are always singing and everyone knows I can not carry a tune to save my life but Lani thinks I sing beautifully.  So us singing “broccoli celery got to be veggie tales” in the produce section is a common occurrence at my local Winn Dixie and the workers there have learned to just smile and wave.

I forgot to tell you guys that Matt and I went to see Beowolf 3-D on Saturday perhaps I forgot to tell you because the movie was SO BAD.  The only positive thing that came out of the trip was we got really cool 3-D glasses and let’s not forget the fact that Matt and I got some alone time.  I had been a while and believe me we enjoy every minute of it.  It is nice to get away and just sit with each other sometimes.  He is my heart and soul and I love him so much.  Just don’t waste the time going to see Beowolf.  While we were there we saw 3 sets of people walk out of the theater.  I wanted to so bad but I am one of those people and sit there thinking it has to get better then I will miss something.  I did not get better and I did not miss anything.   I did get to share popcorn and snowcaps with my man though, so it was a perfect night.

Read the verse to your child then let them color the picture.
