Mt. Climbing at the Beach

Today we went to climb some dunes.  It was so much fun introducing John and the kids to a giant sandbox.  Immediately they took off running and half way up you could see them all slow down.  It looked like a movie in slow motion.

As we were coming down we decided to race eachother.  We all took off in different directions.  As I looked up I saw John face first in the sand and not too happy about it.  He had tripped and fallen into a pricker bush.  Looking around to see where everyone ended up I saw how God had interrupted our race to protect John from a huge injury.  Just a few feet in front of where he was headed was a 3foot circle of broken bottles.  We were so incredibly thankful for God’s protection.  It was a great testimony to our kids about why we pray and tithe.
