Do you ever just sit back and think about how great our God is?......................Of course, you do! Sometimes I just I have random thoughts about how it could have been me killed in the car accident last week; Or it could have been me hospitalized due to a heart attack; Or it could have been me paralyzed in a wheel chair. You get the picture...............Right?

But anyway, some of us, not all, take life for granted. Tomorrow is not promise to us. But God always allow grace to shine upon our face the next morning and the next and the next. I am so grateful that our God is faithful in His promises for us.

The week before Father's Day 2008 my hubby's (Larry) cousin was killed tragically in a car accident. The accident took place approximately 3 minutes around the corner from where we live. Apparently, Larry's cousin was driving too fast around a curve, lost control of his car, and crashed into a tree. A witness who saw the car crashed try to help him out, but the car caught on fire and blew up. He burned up in the car. He was only 35. He left behind a wife and five children. As far as His relationship with God, I don't know. But I prayed that God had mercy on His soul.

So instead of his children celebrating Father's Day, they were attending his memorial service the day before Father's Day. My heart was stunned, overwhelmed, and in shock. It's one thing to have a loved one to die slowly due to cancer or some kind of terminal illness. But to have a loved one taking away so abruptly and tragically is another thing. I often pray for his wife and children for healing as they come to terms with his death day by day.

With all that being said, enjoy life. Live, Laugh, and Learn!! I know it's not time for me to go home, yet. I have too much work (My Father's Business) to do. I thank God for His grace and mercy. Live life to the fullest. And always remember to give God all the praise and glory due to Him. When typing this post, a song dropped in my spirit from the Women of Faith 2002 CD.....

But for Your grace, I cannot be saved

But for Your grace, I would go my way

I'm forever grateful

That you have been faithful

To me Lord!

For Your Amazing Grace...

May this post be a blessing to you mind, body, and soul.

Your Sister In Christ,
