No, I am not talking about the sudden wind and rain storm that hit Seattle this weekend. Unfortunately, it was a scary fall that Maddie had today after Church. This weekend we were watching 2 of the 3 Doerr kids so that Cary and Julia could celebrate their Anniversary and her Birthday...and after morning waffles we headed to church. With the construction at Hope we have been up at SLHS gym. After Church, the kids do their thing, running around and playing. While we were talking I glance over to see Maddie tumble off of a 6ft high ledge. Her arm/shoulder/side braced her fall...but it didnt look good. After a few minute of thinking we were heading to the ER, we (I) calmed down and everything looked to be A-OK. She escaped with a scrape on her chin and cheek, and a big scrape on her arm. VERY VERY Lucky.
Ironically the message today about Faith, talked about Faith in the good times...the fact that she escaped with no injury I would categorize as "in the good times"...a little bit more of a drop, or different angle, and she could have been really hurt. The key is that in the good times, we need to take the gifts were are given and share them with others. So, as we digested all that happened today we talked with Maddie about how she is going to share with others after receiving her gift...and us as well.
