Today my husband and I dropped our 2 older kids off with my mom so we could get some shopping out of the way. When we left one of the stores, we had our 8 month old baby in the cart as we walked across the parking lot to our van. As we were walking, my husband and I noticed something fall to the ground. We stopped and looked and it was a coupon. I stood there for a few seconds confused because the coupon was in the diaper bag (deep down in a pocket) which was buried under some grocery bags. As I was standing there confused at how it could suddenly fall out like that, a van backed up really fast from it's parking spot. Didn't even see us standing there. Had we not stopped to pick up the coupon and kept walking instead, the van would have hit us.
At first we were freaked out at the van backing out so fast, but we quickly felt thankful that the coupon flew out onto the ground. Which in all reality shouldn't have been able to get out of the bag and fall... We know without a doubt in our minds that we were being watched over and protected. Had that van hit us, our 8 month old would have gotten badly hurt and we could have gotten hurt too (and I am pregnant, so baby could have been hurt too). This truly was a miracle that we are thanking our gracious Heavenly Father for.
