A close call.

    A couple near here in Murraysville, Pa were just finishing breakfast and on their way to heading to their garage, when a runaway vehicle slammed into their garage.  On their way down the hall they stopped and thought they heard an explosion, the doorway leading to the two car garage blew open and dust went everywhere.

    A runaway dump truck slammed into their garage and damaged a Volkswagen Touareg and just dinged the 1983 Porche 911.  The dump truck slammed into the garage right where the Porche sat, but remarkedly it was ok.  The couple was just glad they hadn't left the house yet.  The husband said "God was very generous today."

He got that right.

Yes, God was generous, the dump truck slammed into their garage and not the house where they were sitting.

It's amazing how God's angels work. They seemingly push large vehicles out of the way!! I've seen similar things! Great article you featured! Hope there's more!

Sometimes things do work out and they have the right perspective to know they were lucky.

There was no driver of the vehicle. It was parked and I guess not all the brakes were on. So no one got hurt at all!!!

I believe everything happens for a reason. If this had been my situation I would say it was God's way of having me count my blessings! Thank goodness no one was hurt!
