Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE!

On Saturday morning Alex went a "couple of rounds" (I'm using boxing terminology in honor of my husband) with a tractor. I got a phone call from him that morning from the hospital, and he informed me of the eventful start to his day. Haven already been given some pain medication, he groggily (is that a word?) told me that he and a tractor he was driving took a tumble down a hill and his right leg got pinned underneath the tractor. There was no one with him, so all he could do was yell for help. Within 5 minutes someone came to his rescue, 911 was called, and he was awaiting x-rays when he reached me on the phone. Thankfully, his leg was not broken, but he is extremely sore. It could have been so much worse, but God was protecting him. His being out of work for at least a week will be a struggle financially, but weeks ago I had made arrangements to work for a co-worker this week who needed some time off. So, God seems to always provide. I am so thankful that He is so faithful...and that he protects us when we drive a tractor down a steep hill with wet leaves everywhere. :)
