COUPLE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED!

Before I move away from the school days in the 30's, I will tell you about several events. Hope this doesn't upset you too much.

This one story was before I was in school, but it happened one day as my brother and neighbor girl was walking hand in hand to school. (They both were in the first grade) My sister and the girls older sisters and brothers were walking behind them. There were two cars coming in opposite directions. One passed them and they turned around to see if they could get back on the road, another was coming. Just as my brother and neighbor girl was getting back on the road (they were unaware of the 2nd car), the 2nd car ran over the neighbor girl. She was unconscious and they took her to the hospital. She remained unconscious for at least a month, and thought she would die. She did survive, and is still living. The older children saw this, but was unable to warn them in time before the accident.

Another bad thing that happened in the neighborhood, that was really sad, was a toddler was
out in the yard. The parents had boiling water and sat it momentarily down. The toddler fell in the water and died. They just lived about half mile from us. They were caring parents but for a split second had their guard down. One sure can't be too careful, especially when it comes to children's safety.

Today's wisdom--"In every trial or event God walks beside us, but SOMETIMES he has to carry us!!!" I'm sure the above events, God had to CARRY the parents through these trials. God is always faithful!!!
