Behind the Scenes of my Life

Scene 6

The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life. (Psalm 121,7)

*dreaming*

I see myself, sitting in the car, frowning and both hands firmly on the steering wheel. Joshua and Sophie are both crying in the back seat. One of them throws a book to the front. I look in the rear-view mirror and warn them. Thereupon it is silent for a moment, but soon Joshua makes faces, that cause Sophie to cry again, which leads to Joshua crying too. My thread of patience rips apart. I turn around and yell at them. I'm startled because of a noise and turn to the front again. Not a second too early! I see, that an elderly woman wants to cross the street and I stop the car right before the pedestrian crossing.

My kids are fighting in the rewind too, but the shining figure is in the car with us. It seems to talk to me in order to calm me down. When the book comes flying to the front, I see that it would have hit me in the head if the figure wouldn't have diverted it with its hand. While I yell at my kids it has an arm around each of them and is smiling at them, calming them. Then it is suddenly outside of the car and throws a very fat fly at the windshield. I jump and brake, while the figure is helping the lady across the street.
