JESUS, ME AND MY CARS
THE GREEN IMPALA SEDAN
In the Mid 1970's
It was a Friday night, summertime. I was on my way to supervise the nursery/young children at a Praise/Worship service. The sun was shining brightly. The little pillows and mats for the children were in the back seat of the car.
While waiting for the light to change, I had my left turn blinker on and when the protected green arrow light came on I proceeded to complete my left hand turn when I "felt" a "bump". I applied the brakes and when I looked there was glass everywhere in the car and the driver side window was no longer there. A young man came to the open area and said "Are you alright"...I said to him "what happened....did your brakes fail"
He did not reply. I did smell alcohol on his breath. A woman came to the window and asked if there was anything she could do. I asked her, if she didn't mind, to go to the church (which was not very far away) and explain to them what happened and tell them I will be a bit late.
The next thing I knew the police seemed to be everywhere. They had to push my car out of the intersection out of the way of traffic. The driver's door would not open so the emergency crews had to sweep the broken glass from the car just to let me get out. After they were assured that I was O.K. and determined the car was driveable I was allowed to continue to my destination, which was only about a mile or so. The damage to the car was considerable but basically cosmetic. The entire side of the car had to be replaced.
After arriving at the church I realized what a miracle had taken place. The woman that came to the car window was attending that same meeting at the church. She saw the pickup truck pass her (she was behind me waiting for the light to change) and when she saw what was about to happen, she prayed "JESUS, HELP HER!!". She told me this herself at the church. The truck tried to pass me at an intersection on the driver's side. I had worn slides with knee high hose and the glass had shredded my hose. The glass was between the sole of my foot and the slides. I did not have one scratch. I never experienced sore muscles. I never felt anything other than a "bump". I was also pleasantly surprised that I did not get angry; there was no shaking from shock and any of the other emotions that usually follow this type of happening.
Praise GOD for his protection and for that woman that prayed quickly. JESUS HELP HER!!!
