Woman pleads ‘Help me, Jesus’ as venomous snake lands on her, then something incredible occurs.

Woman Cries⁤ ‘Help⁣ Me,⁣ Jesus’ as Venomous Snake Lands on Her, Moments Later Something Incredible Happens

It sounds like a tale out of the Bible — albeit with a mower involved.

Last week, Peggy Jones was cutting her yard on the property‍ she⁤ owns with her husband in Silsbee, Texas. Out of nowhere, a venomous snake landed on her arm.⁤ Then, ⁢she was attacked ‌by a hawk.

However, she escaped serious bodily injury, including a snakebite. Why? Well, part of it, one surmises, ‌might be divine ⁢intervention.

According to Houston’s KPRC-TV, Jones was on ⁢her tractor cutting the grass on Aug. 1 when a snake fell onto her and coiled around her lower forearm.

“The snake ‍was squeezing so hard, and I was waving my arms in ​the air,” Jones said.

That wasn’t the ⁤end of it, though.

“Then, this hawk was swooping down clawing at my arm over and over,” ‍she told the station.

That’s ‌when she called heavenward for help.

“I just​ kept saying, ‘Help me, Jesus! Help me, Jesus,’” she said.

Lo and behold, the hawk that was attacking her ended⁤ up being ‍her salvation —⁢ ripping the snake off her arm and flying off with it.

She said the bird had swooped down at least four times before it was finally able to get the⁣ snake off of her.

Jones’s husband heard the commotion and came outside​ to see what the problem was.

“I was yelling and⁣ screaming. He ‌didn’t know what I was saying,” she said. “I thought I was bit by a snake.”

However, despite⁢ escaping the most ‍serious injuries,⁢ the⁤ hawk still left cuts⁣ on her arm. In​ addition, ⁣there were bruises from the snake.

While there was ⁣no snake bite, the hospital monitored her to see if venom had entered her system. It certainly came close, Jones said.

I’m here in Lumberton where I just finished speaking with ⁤Peggy Jones, a Silsbee woman who survived being attacked by both a snake⁢ and a hawk that descended on her from the sky⁤ last week. Tune in tonight for more on the traumatic event and what she’s calling her new​ lease on life ⁣ pic.twitter.com/TaGuG77P1k

“I discovered the lens ​on my⁤ glasses was broken, and there was snake venom on ‌my glasses,” she said.

This wouldn’t have even been Jones’s first time being⁢ bitten by a snake; she survived a venomous bite a ‌few years back. Welcome to the great Texas outback, ‌I suppose.

And, despite those who would say‌ she was unlucky to be attacked ⁤ by a snake at the same time a hawk swooped down, Jones says she’s⁣ quite the opposite: “I feel like the ⁣luckiest person alive to have survived this!”

As for ​the hawk, she told KPRC that she thinks “that was⁣ God’s way of letting me live.”

“I⁣ just feel⁣ thankful that I’m alive,” she added.

Thankful and blessed, indeed — not just blessed with God’s providential hand sending her the hawk at the same time ⁣the snake had a death grip ‍on⁣ her forearm, but blessed ‌with the grit⁣ that​ seems to be⁢ unique to⁣ those who ‍live in the Lone Star State. Despite the fact she almost suffered a serious injury — to say nothing of death — mowing her lawn, Jones is already back on her tractor, doing her thing again. This is why you ⁣don’t mess with ⁢Jesus or Texas.
