Angel's watching over us

::Kaiden was attacked by a pygmy rattlesnake!::
::But he's ok, and he didn't get bitten::

-Kaiden's angels were protecting him today! We went outside to talk with a Verizon telephone man who had just pulled up into our yard, when Kaiden stepped off the porch and onto the sidewalk. I look down and see a snake attacking him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It lunged at him 5 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angel protection #1:
Right before Kaiden walked out the door he decided to put on his big army rain boots. The snake was attacking the boots and didn't actually get Kaiden.
Angel protection #2:
I yelled that there was a snake and was yelling for Kaiden to move when the Verizon man ran up like a pro (think crocodile hunter) and pinned the snake with a stick and then picked it up!!!!
-If Kaiden wouldn't have been wearing those boots and that wonderful man hadn't have picked that snake up our child would have been bitten more than 5 times by a rattlesnake.
-What are the odds that when you walk out your front door a rattlesnake is waiting there to bite your ankles and you just happen to have the perfect protection against snake bites on your feet and a man in your yard that knows just what to do?
:::::THANK YOU GOD!!!!:::::

Wow!! He is a lucky kid. So, I take it that this is one animal you've run across that you won't be adopting.

Genesis 3:
And God said to the snake, "I will put loathing between you and the woman, and between your offspring, and her offspring."
With good reason, I might add! But hey, what a great excuse to learn!
