JESUS & 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.
