Yikes!!

My husband is the bravest man. While leaving my parents house tonight, which is kinda out in the country, Mike spotted a snake near our car. He calmly brought Noah back inside and then chased the snake down with a shovel. Multiple times he had to rake the snake closer to him so that he could try to kill it. After it was dead Kenny declared that it was a copperhead snake- yikes!! Copperheads are poisonous snakes. I give thanks to the Lord that I didn't walk right out and step on the snake and that Mike noticed the snake in the darkness. I am so thankful for the Lord's hedge of protection around our family. This is what it looked like-
