Danger You Don't See

I marvel whenever I recognize that God has protected me from a danger that I didn't see or didn't see coming. Then, I praise God for looking out for me.
Kinda makes you think about guardian angels, huh?
Recently, I put on my house slippers, went downstairs, and walked around in the kitchen for a bit. I thought I felt a slight push into the ball of my left foot, but I poured my morning cup of coffee and went back upstairs. After a couple more steps with the push feeling in my foot, I declared, "What IS this?" I took off my slipper and ran my hand inside, searching for a pebble or something small. I felt something. I turned the shoe over and spotted a jagged piece of glass sticking out of the bottom. (For the purpose of the picture, I later took a tool and pulled the glass out a little so it could be seen better.) When I pulled the glass piece all the way out, I saw a very sharp point and realized it was on its way to fully break through the sole and into my skin with each step I took.
Wow. I examined the ball of my foot, hoping to see no blood. There was none, but there was a pink pressure mark. If I had walked longer, the narrow head of the glass piece would have entered my foot. God protected me from a danger I did not see.
You can probably recall a time that God protected you lately.
Giving thanks,

Fall. Don't Stay Down.

  Today is another anniversary of 9/11. Has it  actually been seventeen years since the towers at the World Trade Center were attacked by hijacked planes and destroyed?  Tragedy at the Pentagon and the site in PA. May God continue to bless and comfort the families, friends, and other loved ones of those who lost their lives. Also, the same prayer goes up for those who are still alive, but continue to suffer health effects from 9/11 to this day. May God bless this country in every way.
This slogan from a movie poster comes to mind. Our country was attacked that day, but not destroyed. Fall. Get Back Up. We can use this thought in all the challenges of our lives. When you fall, don't stay down. Get back up.
Best wishes,
Sylvia
