10 Miracles in 2 Minutes

So the other day, we were driving on the 57, coming home from a great day at the beach.

And our car shut off.

In the middle of the freeway.

• Miracle 1:  Mark was off of school and therefore with us, and therefore driving.
• Miracle 2:  We were about 1/2 mile from our exit.
• Miracle 3:  Traffic was stop-and-go (for no apparent reason), so cars ... actually I was most concerned about the three semi trucks surrounding us -- were going about 20 instead of 70.
• Miracle 4:  Mac fell asleep about 10 minutes before it happened, and Belen finished nursing about 2 minutes before.  Silence ... the ability to concentrate.
• Miracle 5:  Someone in a van offered to stop and help.
• Miracle 6:  Mark remembered the car's new battery.
• Miracle 7:  Mark was not smashed by cars as he ran out and popped the hood to check on the new battery.
• Miracle 8:  Mark immediately saw the problem and fixed it ... the car was back on within five seconds after he jumped out. 
• Miracle 9:  Mark got back into the car without being smashed.
• Miracle 10:  We were able to return home without any problems and Mark figured out exactly what happened.

Sometimes in life, God lets His hand become incredibly visible.

And we are grateful.
