Y las alturas de los montes son suyas." Psalm 95:4
"In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him". Psalm 95:4
Being able to watch history in the making is truly an amazing thing! Tuesday evening we tuned in to the rescue efforts to free the miners from Chile who had been trapped for 69 days! Our entire family was glued to the TV as the first rescuer made his way up to the top from 2,041 miles below the surface of the earth.
And this one as the first miner reached the top, his son was crying so hard as he saw his dad for the first time in over 2 months.
And here he is hugging the president of Chile. It was such a sight to see! Michael and I ended up watching the first 5 men rescued, then we headed to bed just before midnight. We woke up the next morning and tuned in again as they were rescuing the 14th miner. During homeschool we left the TV on and then after some errands in the afternoon we watched the final rescue efforts that evening. It was so neat, and emotional to watch these 33 men pulled to the surface. I hope our kids will remember this for a long time and be able to tell their kids 20 years from now that they witnessed history in the making.
I snapped this picture as the rescue capsule landed where they 33 miners waited for their turn to be rescued.

The verse that came to my mind first was Psalm 40: 2-3 ~ "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD."
It was such an awe inspiring night, and truly gave so much glory to our God!!!
