Close Call......blessings

So we had kind of a close call today and I can't stop thinking about it. Well, I can't stop thinking about what led up to it. I could blow it off and just say it's all a coincidence but I feel we were blessed today! I stopped at a stop sign. I mean really stopped. My Jordyn has been telling me to stop at stop signs and I say I do. Well, today, I stopped at the one exiting the school after dropping off Kenna and did a kind of California stop because noone was around. She yelled at me because I didn't STOP at the stop sign which ended up being very ironic. Well, later on that day, I stopped at a stop sign and since Jordyn was asking for my drink, I took an extra second to pass it back to her. In that second, a car blasted through their stop sign and ran right through the intersection and right where we would have been had I not taken that second to give her my drink. Truly we were very blessed because we would have been very hurt and I can't even think about my baby boy. He is on the same side as I am....right on the side that car would have t-boned us. I just don't even want to think about it! I just keep thanking my Heavenly Father for blessing us! But then I also have been thinking about my day and all the (non) normal things I did. I took one of Makenna's friends to school today. I never do that! Since they didn't drop off a booster chair, I took Jordyn's old chair out and put her in the middle of the van next to Aiden. Normally, she is in the way back. I also had to pick up Kenna from school today which is not part of my normal schedule either. Trav usually does that after he gets off work but he had a doctor's appointment so I got her today. It was getting to be later than I wanted to leave so I was rushing around and getting ready to go. I normally just grab a water and if I'm running late, I won't even bother with that. But today, not only did I grab a water but I added some yummy Hawaiian Punch flavoring to it. I thought twice about it since I needed to be out the door but I did it anyway. This is the drink Jordyn wanted when we came up on that stop sign! I doubt she would have asked for a drink if it were just my normal bottle of water. I doubt I would have taken that second to give it to her if she were in the very back and not in the middle so I could just give it to her. Yes, it may have all been a coincidence. Or....I could have been very blessed today! I'm going with blessed!!
