Listening is a big deal to me, mostly because I never felt listened to in my family. Further to that, it is hard for me to let my voice out.<br /><br />I so appreciate the two verses you included. You can't know how relevant they are to me right now!JOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530746118038339670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-38598438252049122852010-03-10T08:27:00.453-06:002010-03-10T08:27:00.453-06:00Everyone's hearts must've nearly broken wi...Everyone's hearts must've nearly broken with panic and grief in those few precious moments.

I often tell them that I want them to obey for their safety, because I want to protect them. And mostly so they will learn to obey God without question when they are grown-ups!

I wasn't hurt badly but I know it scared the crap out of me. My worst fear is that my son doesn't listen to my warnings. But, he's an obedient son...<br /><br />annAnn Elle Altmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192162600274764681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-63958082285838457692010-03-10T05:33:25.018-06:002010-03-10T05:33:25.018-06:00What a scary story!

My daughter just learned to ride her bike a couple of weeks ago, so your story sends a chill down my spine! I took her to the park last weekend to ride the pedestrian paths for that very reason.

I think I have been blessed with protection throughout my life, and then again I was in a different sort of era than today.<br /><br />I recall from about age 9 (when I got my first bike) my sister and I and friends would go by ourselves on our bikes several miles from home into unfamiliar neighborhoods. This was San Diego between 1960 -63 and later in Northern Indiana from 1963 -66. Nothing bad ever happened and never did I feel unsafe.<br /><br />Come to think of it I've engaged in a lot of risky behavior throughout my adult years and have felt God was always providing me protection.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
