Pull over and say a prayer

14. Pull over and say a prayer

I learned this from one of my daughters, whose husband was a firefighter until his early retirement. She has five young children (and three older ones) and when they hear a siren, they pull over and say a prayer—for the persons that the ambulance is going to help and for the emergency people themselves.

It isn’t automatic for me yet. The pulling over part is. When there’s a siren coming up behind me, I do slow down and pull over, and I’m still needing to remind myself that this is a good moment to pray. It might help me if I had five small voices in the car reminding me.

I usually pray when I pass an accident. It reminds me how quickly something can happen and your life is changed, and sometimes the lives of many others too.
