For harrowing and heroic rescues...


Thanksgiving #7

Thankful for heroic and harrowing victories.  All 33 Chilean miners were lifted out of the depths of over a mile back onto the light of the surface after the stretch of 69 bleak and grievous days…not knowing if they would survive.  Rescue efforts were planned to have taken at least 4 months into Christmas.  But they were rescued before they expected and each man surprisingly recovered.  With the last man rescued, Chile broke out in song with Chile’s national anthem.  Car horns, church bells, and fire station alarms rang freedom, declaring liberty of the captive miners.  I’m thankful for God’s protective watch over every man…that HE reached down to the depths and pulled each one back up alive!!
