~Christmas 1982~
Brandon and his Momma
Earlier this morning after dropping my Miss K off at school my son was involved in a serious automobile accident during rush hour traffic. We aren't sure of all the details because the crash happened very fast, but Brandon's SUV was totaled and was completely flipped over. Miraculously he was able to unbuckle his seat belt and crawl out the hatch. The other driver never even braked...
Do I EVEN need to tell you how grateful I am my son AND the other driver were not killed in this accident? More and MORE I seen the protective hand of God in my life and in the lives of my children.
Just one more thing to be grateful for this year. I'm on my knees once again this morning thanking God for His mercy and grace.
Love to you all...
This grateful Momma...

Oh my words, the horror of knowing this must have just stopped your blood flowing. Thank goodness and thank GOD he is okay. You are right, the hands of God protect always! Tammy
Oh Rebecca how scary that must have been for you!!! Thank God he is ok and the other driver.
You certainly have someone looking out for you and your family.
I thank God everyday my family has good health and they are safe.

OMG Rebecca! Praise God, thank you Jesus!!!! I am so glad your precious son is o.k. What would happen if we didn't have God in our lives? I know as a praying momma myself, that I continually pray a hedge of protection around my family. Praying for God's continued protection and blessings on you and your family's lives.
Love in Christ,
Marie
OMG! Rebecca I am so sorry to hear that but thankfully he is okay and the other driver also. That very thing happened to my son in his police car a few years ago. Thankfully he was able to crawl out too. Makes me cry thinking about it. Hugs to you!

OMG, Such a horrible way for Brandon to start his Holiday week. Praise Be To Thee that noone was seriously injured. I am sure this will be remembered as the Miracle of 2010.
Love & Hugs to your Muffin Man

Oh my gosh Rebecca, I'm so glad he is OK! What a scary thing to happen. Yes, the hand of God, was in control.
Rebecca I as so glad that Brandon and the others are OK. What a wonderful Savior we have that watches over us day and night! Blessings and Merry Christmas, Vicky
So thankful for our Lord & Saviour he worked another miracle today and thankful Miss K wasn't with him. Merry Christmas
I pray for my kids' and grandkids' safety every single morning as I eat breakfast, sweetpea. I know that is one that I can't NOT do to keep them safe since they drive the California freeways. So far, so good! They need all the help this mother can give them.

Rebecca, so glad all is well. Sounds like he was very lucky. Prayers to all.
Oh Rebecca, what an AMAZING story!!
To see HIS mercy in action touches so deeply, doesn't it??
He is ALWAYS there for us even when we can't 'see' his mercy in action or have a totaled SUV to show as proof.
Your post became my devotion for the day. I'll be telling this over the Christmas dinner table!
Hugs,
Melissa
Oh,Rebecca! How terrible it was to read about Brandon's car accident!!But thankfully both of the drivers are well and that's the only important thing!One more Reason to celebrate our Lord on Christmas Day ^_^ Hugs,Debby from Italy
So glad Brandon is fine. Life is precious and so are our children! Blessings to you and your family this Christmas, Lisa B.
So glad for you and your family. Thanks be to God :)
Rebecca, glad to hear no one was injured or killed. Life can take some unexpected turns in our lives and we had a very horrible accident in our small town. 4 sky divers were killed when the plane they were in crashed. I saw the accident when I passed on the I-10 and I don't know how the other 2 made it out safely, although they are in the hospital. God Bless you and your family and glad God spared them all. Love and hugs, Pat
Sweet Rebecca...
Isn't God AWESOME? I so agree... there is nothing like the power of prayer. I just listened to Joel Osteen, about a week ago, talking about the protection of God and praying for your family's care as they leave. It was a wonderful message. The SUV is easy to replace... Your sweeeeeeetest Miss K and precious son.....impossible. I'll be praying for him... those brutal collisions can sure cause some pain.
Huggies to you....! Always a MOM, right??

I am so relieved to hear that Brandon is okay...someone was definitely looking out for him today :) I so hate to hear about someone being in a car accident; brings back very sad memories for me...my father was killed in a car accident 20 years ago on his way home from work. I think about him and my mother being gone..especially around the holidays.
Well, this will be an even more special and blessed Christmas for you and your family :)
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Dear Rebecca...
Oh what a great great blessing!!! I am so so thankful with you for God's loving care of your precious little boy (I know he's a man now - like my own son - but there is a part of us Mothers that always sees the little boy or girl in our children; as the photo you published today shows so beautifully!) What an extra special Christmas this will be for your family this year!!
May God's blessings always fall so beautifully around you and your family!
Merry Christmas - five days early!

Oh Rebecca, I am sorry to hear of your son's accident but over joyed to read that he is untouched, at least on the outside. I am sure he was very scared and ever so grateful to have walked away.
We just got back from a week in Cabo so please forgive me for not checking in with a prayer and well wishes sooner than now. There are angels watching over you and yours for sure. Merry Christmas sweet one, Char
Hi Rebecca, I noticed on the right hand side of your page the "love is" cartoon. I was born and raised in Anadarko, Ok and when I was in high school I used to collect those out of the Daily Oklahoman (I think that was the name of the newspaper). I have lived in AZ for the last 30yrs, and when I saw that cartoon on your page it brought back some nice memories. Thanks for sharing, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Marla
