Today my family had a pretty big scare. My younger brother was in the house peeling an orange and holding an air soft pistol when the gun went off even though the safety was on. Somehow the plastic BB hit him in the side of the nose, bounced off and hit him in the eye. My brother screamed and my Mom was terrified. However, when Mom looked at his eye it was red but there was no blood and he could still see. Thankfully it did not hit him directly in the eye or he could very well have been blinded. Some would call it “good luck” however I believe that it was Divine Providence.

George Washington went through a battle during the French and Indian war in which he had two horses shot from under him. Sixty-three officers were killed or wounded out of eighty-six and Washington himself had four bullets pierce his coat but he was not hit. Washington attributed his safety to Divine Providence. He could not be killed because God had a purpose and plan for his life.

Right now, I thank God that my brother can still see.
