Sometimes we need to pause and give credit to the tender mercies of the Lord, times when He is watching over us and we never realize it until after. The Lord blessed us with one of these tender mercies.
Garth has been driving a small Ford pick-up for several years. Last year we purchased a new camp trailer so that we might be able to enjoy our beautiful mountains. Although our truck was able to pull the trailer, it was slow going. After discussion we decided we would take the leap and get a new truck. Garth was able to find one he liked well within our budget. Last night we signed papers and drove it home.
Garth leaves for work at about 4:30am. On his way to work a herd of deer ran across the road and, you guessed it, one was right in the way of the truck. Luckily only minimal damage was done to the truck. However, if he had been in the other truck it would have been a lot worse. The Lord was looking out for him. Is that the reason we decided to purchase the truck? Probably not, but in any case, we realize the blessings that come from above. We will replace the damaged part without going through insurance because it will cost much less than the deductible, thank goodness. We will be sure to give thanks for this blessing tonight.

I can't believe it! At least he was driving the bigger truck! Dad told me that he was even driving on the other side of the road to avoid them and one of them still got him. Bet that deer learned his lesson! I am glad that everything turned out ok, sad about the new truck.
