Copper Head Snake

I had a very bizarre moment and was amazed by God’s protection. I took my daughter to the yard and she played on the swing set and climbed all over the slide. I read for school. My oldest son came out and played with her. Then, my youngest son and Mickey came in back yard to. They all played for a while and then my son says “there is something weird on the ground.” He and his sister proceed to bend over and look at it. Mickey goes to check and picks them both up and yells it’s a snake. I get them out of the yard and go back and kill it with a shovel. It was a copper head and it was decent size coiled up and ready to strike. It was bizarre because it was right beside them the whole time and they even leaned over staring at it. I knew that God had protected them but then sitting at dinner God reminded me of an experience I had last week. I had two nights in a row of nightmares about snakes and I kept waking up and praying for my family. I felt like something bad was going to happen and kept praying until God released me from it. At dinner God reminded me of those nights and it shook me up look at my beautiful children and knowing God protected them. Thank you Jesus.  

Do not underestimate the power of prayer
