Crazy Event No. 3: After supper (on Thursday), we had promised the kids a shopping trip for our second round of fish for our new tank (more on that in a later blog). While we were still choosing our fish, we received a phone call that our church had been broken into. The lady that discovered it had actually gone inside the building and into the office area when she discovered a broken window. She was very shaken, but thankfully, okay. God really protected her! We arrived a few minutes before the police did, plenty of time for my kids to be a mess. We stayed long enough to know that nothing major was missing besides some cash, then I left with the kids to get our new fish settled in their new home. They of course were all distraught over the events of tonight so they are all asleep in our bed.
But before bed, I reminded them of the passage of scripture they just learned last week. The one God placed specifically on their hearts just before they were going to need it. We talked about how cool it is that thousands of years ago, this passage was written to remind them on this very night about God’s protection…how He says that we will find refuge under His wings, that no disaster will come near our tent, that we do not need to fear the terror of night and that He commands His angels to guard us. We prayed tonight that they would even hear the flutter of angel wings as they were drifting off to sleep. What a great reminder of God’s protection!!
