Angels Amoung Us

Today started out as any other day; scriptures, family prayer, get kids ready and off to school, feed and play with Ryker till he goes down then CLEAN!   Just as I was loading Ryker into the truck to take Chasee her homework she had left on the table, my sweet husband asked me to drive into town to go to lunch with him.  So off we went!  We stopped by the school, took Chasee her homework, waved to Carter in his classroom on our way out, it totally made his day (which in turn made mine :).  Dropped the movie off at the rental store, and headed into town.  When we got to WW Peppers I noticed my phone was missing!  We looked in the truck, called the school (thinking I may have left it on the counter when I signed in) and NOTHING.  Oh well,  I must have somehow set it down before I climbed into the truck.  I decided we weren't going to worry about it while we had lunch.  After, I ran a couple errands, the lady's were so helpful and nice at Hobby Lobby!  They even gave me 40% off after I forgot my coupon at home.  I was so grateful to them!  On my way home I decided to go the highway instead of the freeway and stop by the lumber store to grab wood for our next class.  The guy who helped me was incredible!  Dug through the entire pile of wood to find the best cuts, then he went above and beyond and measured and cut wood which saved me a whole lot of work!  My day was going great!  With 20 minutes to get back I pulled onto the highway to head home and I heard the strangest noise!  I let off the accelleration and the noise stopped.  Not wanting to stop, because I wanted to get home in plenty of time for the kids to be dropped off, I accelerated just to see if the noise was still there. YUP!  So I knew I had no choice but to pull over.  Just as I was pulling off I realized my tire was going FLAT.  I noticed a road and turned right onto it.  A wave a panic rushed through me as I realized I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE!  Right on the corner was a business.  I turned in, hoping I could use their phone and thinking it would be safer to change the tire in the parking lot.  I ran in and the front desk lady was amazing!  I called Dustan to come fast to change the tire.  Knowing the kids will be getting off the bus soon, she found me a phone book and I started calling neighbors, NO ONE WAS HOME!  I didn't have my phone so I didn't have anyones cell phone number and had no way of getting a hold of anyone!  I called to school so they could radio the bus driver and let them know I wasn't home, NO ANSWER.  I called First Bus, to have them radio the Bus Driver and they couldn't get a hold of him,  I had no one else to call...  I called Dustan again to find out how far he was just as a lady came out of her office (ready to go home) and offered to take me somewhere.  I thought, that would be great except how would i get back to the truck with 3 kids and no car.  Dustan answered and was well on his way but still far out.  I broke down in tears. I was so lost on what to do.  Home was still 10 minutes away, my kids were getting off the bus and I had felt I completely failed them.  The lady then offered to take me to my house and then bring me back.  I had no other choice but to let her.  We loaded the car seat and set off.  When we pulled up Carter and Chasee were in the door way watching, As I ran to the door Chasee broke down in tears. Carter assured me they were perfectly fine.  He also let  me know they didn't get out any toys or make a mess while i was gone, I laughed.  As put their shoes on, I  noitced my phone randomly sitting on the grass by the front door, grabbed it and we left. I thanked the lady repeatedly, she was such a life savor.  She took us back and headed home.  I don't know what I would have done with out these two amazing ladys.  Or with out my Heavenly Father watching over me.  That flat could have happened anywhere along the way home with no businesses around.  And if we were on the freeway, it could have been a major accident.  I Truly feel this was one of  HIS Tender Mercies. I feel so blessed, and so grateful to him and his Angels who were so willing to help me through this Almost Disaster.
I can honestly say I feel our family has been so very blessed, beyond our understanding of why.  We have faced so many obsticles and through every single one HE has carried us.  I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father. 
There Are Truly Angels Amoung us!!
