A Visit From Family

We have been blessed and busy this last week.

My in laws came to town for the week. It was a true blessing because we have not seen them for 2 years. We caught up some, swam a lot, and enjoyed many restaurants this last week.

There is one thing that happened this week that really has me praising God. We were outside enjoying the cool breezes and shade and talking when it happened. It had rained the night before and the ground was kind of soft but we weren't thinking anything of this because the chairs were sturdy and the legs were wide. My mother-in-law as rocking Missy back and forth and sing "Rock A Bye Baby" when all of a sudden both her and Missy fell backward in the chair and Mom hit her head on the house. I was really concerned because she was laying in an unusually position. She was fine though and all was well. Until... about 10 minutes later, my father-in-law's chair slowly laid back. It was so surreal. Like watching a movie in slow motion. One minute he was sitting in the chair the next he was lying on his back in the chair. He, too, had hit his head but God protected him because he only had a bump on the head.

I will always be thankful that God protected my in-laws while they were here in Kansas.
