Protection 2

The story my granddaughter told me was a great example of God's protection and having the faith of a child.
One day, my daughter was walking in the down-town area of our small city. She had two children with her and they were enjoying the sunshine and window shopping. There was a pawn/thrift store nearby the strip of higher-end stores. We all know that kids ask for things in any store, so wanting to keep the splurge within her budget, my daughter headed toward the thrift store. Her daughter, Alexis was 4 or 5 at the time and typically well-behaved. Suddenly, Alexis stopped in her tracks and refused to budge. "I don't wanna go in THAT store," she said. My daughter pulled her toward the store and Alexis threw herself on the ground in a tantrum. This was unusual for her at that age. Moms everywhere can almost hear the interaction that followed; mom cajoling, even bribing the child to follow her and to calm down. Alexis was hysterical and my daughter agreed to go in another store first, striking a deal that she was not buying Alexis anything in the first store. Alexis calmed down and they entered the first shop. 20 minutes later, when they exited the store, there were police cars surrounding the thrift store. Alexis said the "shiny man" was gone. She said the shiny man had blocked the door of the thrift store earlier and told her she couldn't come in.
My daughter learned that two men had come to rob the store and had shot an employee and was holding a customer hostage. When 8-yr-old Alexis told me this story, she very non-chalantly said, "So I always know God is protecting us."
Is your faith that simple these days? It should be.
