sisters

Another beautiful day in the Lord.Just thinking about when I was little how God always provided for me.......
When I was a kid life was just stinking fun..you know there was so much to do then..didn't have alot of them dumb games they play today and movies was out of the question..7 kids in the family & not alot of money,but we sure did have some fun times.
Like the time it rained so hard it flooded the creek behind our house.It was surrounded by a beautiful apple orchard & when the creek was low ,we could go in it & get frogs,minnows, crawfish.....all kinds of neat things. Well it was the spring rains & the creek was over 10ft deep that was my guess, me & my 2 sisters Sylvia & Becky went to just explore...we had our goulash's on & some old rain coats.We were watching the water as it flowed so fast down the creek bed, I got a little to close to the edge & I slipped. I was up to my waist in water and I wasn't scared we just laughed, but then I tried to get out , and my boot had sunk deep in the mud. Becky tried to pull me out but it just wedged in deeper.By this time I was up to my neck in it..I was sinking.
Sylvia new it wasn't good so she ran to get help & Becky kept hold of my hand. It was starting to get to my chin & Becky new I was going to drown if she didn't get me out.

...Hey Jennifer wiggle your foot out of the boot, see if it will slip out...so I had tennis shoes on  in my boots & started to move my foot.At first it didn't feel like it was going to budge. My whole leg was in deep in the mud. So I kept wiggling my foot & finally felt it move..a Little more & Becky was pulling at the same time....finally she yanked me so hard I think my arm was coming out.It worked I was barefoot & free!I said what about my boot? She said forget it, we will get another one. About that time my brothers were coming to help. Me & Becky just laughed...that was the day my sis saved my life..I love you Becky, you were always there for me,always.
