A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, August 31st

Good morning, God,
Ah, what a joy it is to have headlines about the impetuousness of youth turning out for the good rather than ending up in a bad situation! Those three football guys from Forest Park took off running and treated that truck as a blocking sled, pushing it right off the line - that is, they pushed that truck right back on its wheels, leading to the freeing of the trapped mother with child from the truck. Then, some more experience kicked in as one of the guys knew he had to put out the engine fire - and did.
Lord, from young football players to store employees to passers-by, you have given many gifts and skills to be sued for day-to-day routine living and for once-in-a-lifetime emergency situations. Thank you for people who will act quickly and positively when a need arises. Keep all such "Good Samaritans"safe during their actions, but may we always be safe enough in what we are dong that we don't ever need emergency responders.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
