This is the day...

Today is an amazing day!  The rescue is finally occurring for the 33 trapped Chilean miners.  I'm watching CNN as each miner is slowly pulled through the ground to the surface.  So far, 13 miners have been rescued. 

What has this to do with Kayla at college?  Not much, but, it's what I'm thinking about today as I write this.  I think it's interesting how to hear how, even though today is the 13th, the Chileans view today as a lucky day, because it's 10-13-10, and those numbers add up to 33. 

I love watching the families reunite, and hearing the miners talk about their faith and how they never lost hope.  Watching them drop to their knees when they reach the top and offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God makes me want to do the same.  What a wonderful day!

The most interesting interview was when one miner said, "I was with God, and I was with the devil, but God won." 

Anyhow, Kayla, even though you're in college and immersed in that life, just take a moment to think about this day and these people and the amazing things God can do.  Today is simply a good day to rejoice and thank God!
