A great story..........
Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call 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, slid
off the bridge and hit Mikey at a rate of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like his 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 get to catch no fish!"
As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, over a
few trees and an embankment and in 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 a 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.
