I didn't really followed much of what was going on during the time they were trapped, I knew it was going on and I felt really bad for them and their situation and although I don't consider myself claustrophobic, I am sure I will have a hard dealing with something like this was to happen to me.

On the other hand my husband was constantly keeping track of what was going on and even posting on his blog about it several times. Even the night before (Tuesday) when we were watching the local news he got irate because they said that the miners were already rescued when in fact the rescue wasn't even started yet...
when there still about 8 left to be rescued |

With God taking care of them down there for about 70 days (the longest ever record of somebody survive trapped underground) and the perseverance of the rescue team as well as the government of Chile, this had the best outcome possible.
I can stop thinking about how much joy those miners feel today after seeing the light of day again, to hug a loved one and for something as basic as having a bed to sleep in, God Bless them and their families as well as all of the people that helped physically and with prayers!
Let's all have a wonderful day!!!

I watched the last two being pulled up and have to admit that it drew tears for them and all the miner's families. What a miracle that they were found and brought up to the surface! ...debbie
Sunshine,
I loved watching this true life miracle unfolded before the eyes of the world. What's even more amazing is the fact that two of those men in the mine actually gave their lives to Jesus during the time they were trapped and many more of the families that waited on the surface found God in those days as well.
Just goes to show how God can use any circumstance for His glory.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
