Look Close and See His Work

Why is it that when good things happen to people, that the credit for those things is givin to
another person?
For instance a car full of people miss going over the side of a hill, and the driver gets credit for saving their lives.
I know for fact that it wasn't me who made that car stop!! (ask me about it)
Or when bad things happen all of a sudden people start to question God and his existance?
You usually hear that " if there is a God, and God is great, why didn't he save my wife from dying" we prayed.
Why is it that GOD rarely gets the praise he deserves, but always gets the blame?
In my case I have started to look deep into what happens around me, to see how God is working!
Do the bad things happen when we try to control our own destiny?
Do the good things happen when we let God control our destiny?
I know God is at work in my life, let him work in yours too.

Jay, you will have to tell me that story sometime. I am glad that God has been working in your life. Your life has been a testament to me. I love you brother.

I think that our human nature makes us want to take credit for good, and blame someone else for the bad. It's hard to stand up and say, "I screwed this up, I broke your jet ski," or whatever. But it's easy to say, "Wow, check out that picture I took."

Here's the deal on the car thing.
We were(me,christina,the kids) going over to Bernie and Barbs for a prayer with them.
I was in a hurry and wasn't paying attention, going down that dirt road that I've only been down 1 other time.We came up on a blind curve, and I mean blind!
Well I came up on that curve and there was no way you can take a curve like that at 60mph , Im talkin I should have had the blinker on.
Well we started sliding and the wheels wouldn't turn, we were on the left side going straight for the drop, when the car just died, the wheels turned, we stopped sliding, and fortunately no others cars were in the other lane.
I did not stop that car from going over that hill.
Ask DEP about the big ditch we Didn't go into as teens.
God has been watching over me since birth.
I have lots of stories like this, Im sure you all do too!
Hey Pete, You my friend are a prime example of a Testament for Me.
and I love you too, LBH (little bear hug) I'm old.
