Headlines: God saves my husband's life

Hope so.

Tuesday my husband flew from AZ to Detroit and then back home.  As many of you know the northeast had near blizzard conditions  on Tuesday and Wednesday.  God had me and the kids praying for his safety most of the day.  It wasn’t a pressing urgent prayer just a reminder that he was traveling in bad weather.

They arrived in Detroit okay but it was snowing a lot.  After a short layover they got on the departing flight and the ground crew set about de-icing the plane.  As they were waiting in line to take off a passenger sitting over the wing noticed there was ice on the wing flaps of the airplane.  They were third in line for take-off.  He rang the call button for the flight attendant.  She got the pilot.  The pilot came back into the passenger section of the plane with a flashlight and looked out the window where the passenger was sitting.  Sure enough the maintenance crew had missed a spot and there was ice on the wing.

Praise God for a pilot with lots of good sense.  He pulled out of line for takeoff and returned to the terminal for another round of deicing. 

What would have happened had that particular passenger would not have been sitting on the wing?
What if he had thought the ice was normal?
What if the pilot had not paid attention to the passengers concern?
I wonder if that man knows he very well may have saved the lives of everyone on board?

The delay caused my husband to be over an hour and a half late arriving home.  Just as a very bad band of weather causing Tornado Watches moved out of our area. 

Luck?  Circumstance?
I beg not!

God had HIS all encompassing hand over my husband and the lives of many others on Tuesday.

And whoever that man is who sat on the wing of the plane and the pilot who took the time to de-ice again…."May God richly bless your lives and may your heart forever follow after HIM."

This, from one very grateful wife and 4 children who adore their dad.
