USS Alabama

during our vacation, we spent a day at Orange Beach and drove through Mobile on the way to Hattiesburg. We were able to catch a glimpse of the USS Alabama... Heath shared the story that his grandfather was rescued by the USS Alabama from the war in the Pacific (WW2 if I remember correctly). He was one of 3 in his unit who survived. And we marvelled at the fact that none of us would be together (much less exist with Heath and the boys) if it had not been for the crew on that ship and whatever it took to get his grandfather on to that ship. I love how the Lord has our lives in His hands to such an extent that He goes way before and way behind us. And if He holds these major life events in our hands, then He holds the seemingly mundane. May we find ourselves aware of His hand in the ordinary moments of our lives as well as the extraordinary.
