It's More Than Just Being Lucky

It's more than just being lucky
Bob Yong
This was what happened on October 28, 2009.
Stepping out of a lift at a basement parking lot, I walked towards my car which was parked some 100 feet away. Suddenly, I noticed a MPV drove up and stopped in front of another car, a few feet away from us. A young woman rushed out of this MPV and headed straight towards another car parked close to mine. She got into her car (I presumed) and came out with a brick in her hand. On seeing this, the man hurriedly reversed his car in high speed; obviously he was trying to avoid being hit should the woman throw the brick at him.
At that time, I was about to cross to the other side of the path with my pet dog named Goldie in my left arm. I felt the MPV whisk-passed me, just missing us by an inch. As a result, the MPV brushed against my right arm and the wheels ran over the tip of my shoe.
Though we were not hurt, I was shocked and stood there motionless for a moment before realizing this was a near-missed. It could have turned out to be more serious than it looked. I could have been knocked down and killed or badly injured!
Looking back, I can conclude that the Lord was walking by my side on that day. He protected me and Goldie from harm.Praise the Lord.
Here is a gospel song “If the Lord wasn’t walking by my side” by Elvis Presley.
