Safety Checks

 

Gratitude Year 12 - Day 67: Today, I am grateful for safety checks.

"Safety First" was a book Chase loved to read when he was little. It was in the Disney Babies series of books. He would say, "Let's talk about dangerous things." He wanted to know the safety rules. Walker, on the other hand, was more of a test subject to see if something was dangerous. There were many times we were grateful for the safety testing that goes into products before we use them.

Safety checks are important in public transportation, on heavy farm and construction equipment, and car seats. Remember your first seat belt? Mine was my mother's arm flung across the passenger side of the car. Yes, that dates me a little. 

Safety checks can slow things down, but they are time well spent. One tiny safety check can save many tears. 

When a worksite posts how many days they have been without an accident, it says safety is a priority. Those who are wise, practice safety checks in other areas of their lives, too. 

King Solomon asked God for wisdom when God offered him anything. His request is proof he had an understanding of the value of wisdom. 

During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, lived in safety, everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree. -1 Kings 4:25

Today, I am grateful for safety checks.
