guns and spiders

We are enjoying reading this book that we borrowed from some friends.  Every morning at  breakfast we read another chapter. This morning we read the story, "The Shotgun That Wouldn't Fire".  It is a true story about a teenage boy in Mexico who was telling a group of people about Jesus.  There was an angry man in the crowd who pulled out a gun, aimed at the boy and pulled the trigger.  Miraculously, it didn't fire!  It ended up that lots of people heard about Jesus and the boy's life was spared.

I read that story at breakfast.  Later in the morning, Caleb was folding laundry in the hall way.  He noticed a spider right next to his leg and it crawled into the laundry.  He called for Matt who looked for it, found it, caught it and discovered that it was a black widow!  We actually had already scheduled for pest control to come today and when the man arrived, he confirmed that it WAS a black widow.

Anyway, I thank God not only for the gun that didn't fire but for the spider that didn't bite!  That is the second black widow we have found in our house and we are so thankful that no one has been bitten.   So thankful that God takes care of His children!
