Bad Mommy

This morning I did what I prayed I would never do. I slammed my childs hand in the van door!! Sarah was playing on the monkey bars..I mean The Cart Corral at Econo and I was absentmindedly telling her to come by me and Nathan was standing with me and just as I was sliding the door closed, his little hand shot in. Aside from the crying and tears his hand was fine and the cookie helped him forget his woes. I still feel bad!! Just B-A-D! I know it was an accident and accidents happen but I hate to see my cherubs in pain. I remember Joshua slammed his own hand in the back door of the van. He was inside the van all alone..trapped! It was only after I asked, "Where's Josh?" and we heard some faint wailing that we raced outside. Thank goodness his hand was cushioned by the rubber stuff. Nothing broken, no blood, no hospital visit needed.
Lord, I thank you that even though my children get hurt, You are there. You are there comforting and protecting and making sure more harm does not come to them. You are so awesome!!
