Close Calls

"That was a close call!"
 Have you ever said these words?   Many of us have.   Maybe you almost crashed into the rear of a vehicle, but applied your brakes in time.  Maybe the cooking pot on your stove was just about to boil over, but you saw it and caught it just in time to avoid a mess.  Maybe your earring came off and was about to go down the kitchen drain, but you grabbed it out of the dish water at the last minute.  Maybe the toddler was about to topple off the sofa, but you caught him before harm could come. Maybe you felt the crackle of lightning a second before you got out of the storm and into shelter.  Maybe you were choking on some food and a person's quick thinking action helped you out.
Some people say that coming out on the right side of close calls is attributable to angels sent by God.  Others credit good luck.  Others point to fate, or the law of the odds.  I am thankful for coming out on the safe side of many close calls.  Have you had any close calls lately?
Take care,
Sylvia
