Grateful

Today I am grateful. Grateful for healthy and happy children. Grateful for a healthy and happy husband. Grateful for a healthy and happy me.

In the last three days we've had a dear friend of the family find out he has a very aggressive form of prostate cancer, another friend who may have lymphoma and another with possible testicular cancer.

Last night as we were leaving a downtown bar after hearing a friend play, we witnessed a car accident in which we watched one of the vehicles flip onto its roof. The man who was hanging upside down in his car amazingly walked away from it. The girl driving the other car was taken away in handcuffs after failing a sobriety test.

It's strange how one day you think you're fine and the next you're wondering how long you have to live. One day you think you're invincible and the next you're watching your life flash before your eyes.

Thank you Jesus for placing Your loving and protective arm around us. May I never, ever take that for granted.
