You will recall a recent post about us taking 385 gallons (2500 lbs) of Avgas to the Kalahari
with our friends Bob and Ester.
Bob had loaded the gas onto his trusty trailer, the
same one we used in helping them move.
Bob gets a lot of use out of that trailer, and here it was again.
We drove about 6 hours to Kang, over mostly good
paved road, with a few major bumps, and not too much traffic. We pulled into the Lodge about 8:30 or
so. We got in our rooms and Bob decided
to take some weight off the rear of the truck by removing the trailer. When he disconnected, here is what he saw:
Wow, was G^d looking out for us! One single bolt was holding the trailer to
the truck. Had that bolt broken, who
knows what might have happened. I picture
a huge fireball. What comes to your
mind? 385 gallons of FIRE!
Why didn’t it come loose? Only G^d knows, but thanks be to G^d it held.
G^d’s mercy is new every morning, and every night
too. We don’t even know from what all
G^d has protected us.
Thank you L^rd for your grace and mercy.
Wow--Aint God Good!!! You guys have had such a diverse and interesting time in Bot. Sure Glad a FIREBALL wasn't part of your adventure. :-))
ReplyDeleteSome of the things you have experienced must make you appreciate the US level of life. Constant Elec. A/C and heating, paved basicly pothole free roads.
Much like in life, when we see the difficulties people get themselves into, we are thankful for a Perfect, Loving God who guides, protects, corrects and restores us. 2Tim 3:15-16
Thank God for each little "bolt" we don't even know is there. Take care miss you guys.
