I found out first thing this morning that the Mom of one of my friends was admitted to the hospital last night and in ICU with heart problems. Then when I logged onto Facebook I saw where a young man named Wes from my hometown had passed away last night. He had been in a terrible wreck last Tuesday evening. I never knew him but it made me sad for his family. Also I knew today was the day that one of my little friends fighting a brain tumor was having an important MRI and her parents were very anxious about it.
And at the same time I feel thankful. My husband was coming home last Tuesday night and called to tell me about the delay because of a bad accident. Later I found out that it was Wes' accident. So today I just felt thankful that my husband's timing hadn't been any different. And I wondered could it have been him in that accident? I felt so thankful it wasn't but so sad at the same time because another wife doesn't have her husband tonight.
Today I've been reminded that we are not guaranteed tomorrow or even another breath. Things can be going along as normal and then suddenly everything changes. Please join me in praying for these families. Pray that God will heal and bring His comfort and peace. These are three very different situations but all three families are hurting and need God to help them in their time of difficulty.
Have a day of blessings!

Yes, I will join you in praying Bethany. So many things happen and we cannot control them. I've heard of so many people with cancer lately. You have a sensitive heart and that's one of the things I love about you.
Hugs and love,
Debbie
