Things could have turned badly, but God protected them and nothing happened. While I was scared for their safety—I was also moved by my son’s courage!
I once saw a T-shirt with a sentence I found meaningful: “Look back to learn.

Let’s make growth—the product of change—something of which we can be proud!
