JESUS & THE MUD PUDDLE
One Saturday afternoon a few months ago. His 6-year-old grandson, Mikey, had been hit by a car
while fishing in Greentown with his dad. The father and son were near a bridge
by the Kokomo Reservoir when a woman lost control of her car,
She slid off the bridge and hit Mikey at a rate of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared the worst.
When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital , he rushed through the emergency
room to find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits.
'Mikey, what happened ?' Sheriff Marr asked. Mikey replied, 'Well, Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad,
and some lady runned me over,I flew into a mud puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't g et to catch
no fish !' As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet , over a few trees and an embankment and in
to the middle of a mud puddle. His only injuries were to his right femur bone,
which had broken in two places. Mikey had surgery to place pins in his leg.
Otherwise the boy is fine. Since all the boy could talk about was
that his fishing pole was broken, the Sheriff went out to Wal-Mart and bought
him a new one while he was in surgery so he could have it when he came out.
The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey to keep him company in the hospital.Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole and talked about when he could go fishing again as he cast into the trash can. When they were alone Mikey, just as matter-of-fact, said, 'Papaw, did you know Jesus is real?' 'Well,' the Sheriff replied, a little startled..
'Yes, Jesus is real to all who believe in him and love him in their hearts.' 'No,' said Mikey. 'I mean Jesus is REALLY REAL.' 'What do you mean ?' asked the Sheriff. 'I know he's real 'cause I saw him,' said Mikey, still casting into the trash can. 'You did ?' said the Sheriff. 'Yep,' said Mikey. 'When that lady runned me over and broke my fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms and laid me down in the mud puddle.'
GIVES YOU GLORY BUMPS, DOESN'T IT ? ! GOD WILL DO THE REST
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way
His love is always with you
His promises are true
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest.
Pass this to people you want God to bless and don't forg et to send it back to
the one who asked God to bless you first.
FAITH IS NOT BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN.... IT IS KNOWING THAT HE WILL !
