Blessed, Touched, and Thanking God

I was very touched today when I had an unexpected visitor knock on my door. It was a face that I recognized from High School, but hadn't talked to for years. She came in the door and said that she just got out of rehab and had to thank my husband for saving her life!

Last month there was a couple arguing and you could tell they were under the influence of some kind of substance and the guy was chocking the girl to the point of passing out. At that point Mike ran out and told the guy to get his hands off of her. The guy then got back in the truck and she started walking. Mike asked her several times at this point about calling the cops, and she insisted NO. After agreeing with her at that moment and stepped back in the house, she was grabbed by the neck and pulled into the truck and speed off. Of course I grabbed my phone and called the police at told them what was going on. they found the guy that night, but she wasn't in the truck like we stated so the police searched and found her beaten and clothing riped off of her.

This incident really upset Mike and I and we slept very lightly the next few nights in fear that something else would happen.

I am sharing this story as an example of how we as Christians treat those we don't even know. I am also very thankful for our actions that night and know that God was watching over our family that nothing would happen to us for saving this girl. She said that she has re found God through this experience and doesn't know why she stayed in the relationship she did for so long. I hope and pray that she will join me and my family at church as I did invite her and she was positive about wanting to come.

Lets all be examples of Christ this week and always to show others Christ love!
