Praise!

I just wanted to share a praise with you and give God all the glory for taking care of my grandma. She is 84 years old and lives by herself. She is unsaved and we pray for her daily. I won't go into her full history as I think that would be an invasion of privacy but I wanted to share a short story that happened to her.
The other day, she was carrying 2 loads of laundry back to her apartment when she saw a suspicious looking man sitting at the bus stop across the street from her apartment. She said that that area by the bus stop had been rumored to be a drug area. (She doesn't live in a bad area but bad things happen all around.) She had noticed him before and was getting scared. She saw him get up and start walking towards her. This frightened her greatly. She ended up falling down 2 concrete steps and getting tangled up with the railing. He was continually walking to her but she was over come with pain and fright that she couldn't do anything, including yell for help. He came over to her, untangled her hands from the railing, put his arm around her waist and helped her inside her home. All she could say to him was God bless. He then left.
That could have turned out to be very scary and possibly deadly on many accounts. The reason for the man to walk towards her in the first place is unknown and I'm unbelievably thankful that he didn't hurt her. Second of all, the fall could have proven fatal. She has issues with her bones and for her to not have broken anything is a miracle in and of itself.
I'm rejoicing that she is only bruised and banged up. Please help us in praying for her salvation, her health and her safety. I was thinking on my recent prayers in that I have begged God not to allow her to leave this earth without the acceptance of our Lord and Saviour. Thank You for answered prayer as she has another day here that I can witness to her.
I'll post more later on Emily's first day of kindergarten and her 5th birthday celebration.
