After loosing control of the wheel, Hannah felt her car spinning. She knew that she was on one of the busiest avenues in town and that it would only be a matter seconds before a car would come crashing into her. She let go of the wheel, released the brake and closed her eyes. All she could think about were her kids, she pictured their little faces smiling. As tears began to roll down her eyes, her car came to a complete halt. She opened her eyes and realized that her car was in the correct lane, positioned in the right direction, without as much as a scratch. Hannah couldn't explain what happened, if she had a spiritual hair left on her head, she would have to admit that it seemed as divine intervention, but she didn't. She would have to say she got lucky.
Hannah could hardly wait to get to her mom's house and look into her children's eyes; this scared her enough
to want to stay overnight. As soon as she parked in the drive-way her mother Rachel opened the front door. She stood there wearing a burgundy robe over her flannel pajamas and holding a blanket for Hannah.
When Hannah approached her, she wrapped her in the blanket and immediately asked her what had happened. Hannah was stunned, she hadn't planned on telling her mother about the "icy road" incident. She gave her a hug and said "everything is fine mom."
Hannah looked up to see her dad sitting on the floor next to the fireplace playing shoots and ladders on the coffee table with the kids. It looked like a scene from a Christmas movie, they looked so at peace. Little Victoria came running towards her, her curly brown hair bouncing as she threw herself into Hannah's arms to give her a big hug.
"mom, when you didn't answer your phone grandma had us say a prayer for you. Is everything ok?
"Of course it is munchkin. So, what did you say in your prayer?"
"I asked God to send an angel to protect you. Is that a silly prayer mom?" Victoria asked a bit ashamed.
"Not for a sweet, innocent child, it isn't." answered Hannah.
Rachel's eyes swelled up with tears... her daughter had stopped believing in miracles.
