Remember THIS story?
Well, it's happened again. But this time to me.
I had donated some of my nativities to our church's nativity exhibit. I went to pick them up and I was driving slowly home because I hadn't re-packaged the nativities all the way and had a poinsettia and a painting in my truck.
A 17-year old girl pretended to stop at a stop sign, but kept on going and slammed right into me.
Thankfully, everyone is ok – including Mary, Joseph and the baby. :) All my nativities and my painting are intact.
My BIG hunk of steel won against her small sedan…her front bumper had fallen off and wires were hanging down. Mine appears to not have anything structurally wrong. I've always felt very safe in the Suburban, which is nice.
Once again…I can relate to these poor teenage girls who get in accidents. I had a few in my day. She was very sad about it and very sweet. By the time we got the police report she and her mom were hugging me and thanking me for being so "compassionate". They were a good family…and I'm glad neither of us were hurt. And I'm also thankful that none of my boys were in the car with me.
So…a little tense and sore. But overall, all is well.
