Jesus and the Mud Puddle

Howard  County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call  one Saturday  afternoon a few months ago.  His 6-year-old grandson, Mikey, had been  hit by a car  while fishing in Greentown with his dad.  The father and son were near a bridge  by the Kokomo Reservoir when a   woman lost control of her car,  slid off the bridge and hit  Mikey  at a rate of about 50 mph. Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents   like this and feared the worst.  When he got to   Saint Joseph Hospital ,  he rushed through the emergency   room to  find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits.  'Mikey, what  happened ?' Sheriff Marr asked.  Mikey replied, 'Well, Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad,  and some lady runned me over,I flew into a mud   puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch no  fish !'  As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about   500 feet, over a few trees and an embankment and in   to the middle of a mud puddle.  His only injuries were to his right femur  bone,  which had broken in two places. Mikey had surgery to place  pins in his leg.  Otherwise the boy is fine. Since all the boy could talk about was  that his fishing pole was broken,  the Sheriff  went out to Wal-Mart and bought   him a new one while he was in surgery  so he could have it when he  came out. The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey  to keep him company in the hospital.  Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole  and talked about  when he could go fishing again  as he cast into the trash can. When  they were alone Mikey, just as matter-of-fact, said, 'Papaw, did you  know Jesus is real?'  'Well,' the Sheriff replied, a little startled..  'Yes, Jesus is  real to all who believe in him  and love him in their hearts.'  'No,' said Mikey. 'I mean Jesus is REALLY  REAL.'  'What do you mean ?' asked the Sheriff.  'I know he's real 'cause I saw him,' said Mikey,  still casting into the trash can.  'You did ?' said the Sheriff.  'Yep,' said Mikey. 'When  that lady runned me over  and broke my fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms  and laid me down in the mud puddle.'  GIVES  YOU GLORY BUMPS, DOESN'T IT ? !  GOD  WILL DO THE REST  I asked the Lord to bless you  As I prayed for you today  To guide you and  protect you  As you go along your way  His love is always with  you  His promises are true  And when we give Him all our cares  You know He will see us through  So when the road you're  traveling on  Seems difficult at best  Just remember I'm here praying  And God will do the rest.  Pass this to people you want God to bless and don't forget to send it back to   the one who asked God to bless you first.  FAITH IS NOT BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN....   IT IS KNOWING THAT HE  WILL!
