Last week was truly a week of "moments." A close friend, a young, dynamic woman physician, was in a head on collision on a rural road during a thunderstorm. A young man in a new pick up truck was adjusting his seat and ran right into her. There was no place for her to pull off as the hill to her right came down to the road. As she sat in the car she had excrutiating pain in her neck. A woman two cars back came up to her and said, "Sit absolutley still. I will hold your neck until the ambulance arrives." Later XRays showed she had a broken C2 vertebrae. That's the one known as the "Christopher Reeves" vertebrae. If she had moved and the broken vertebrae had cut her spinal cord, she would have been paralyzed from the neck down. Angels? Moments that change our lives.
The tragedy in Colorado is another "moment." Why? How?
There are no answers in the human scheme of things.
All I know is that I am safe in God's love...and so are all the people I love and those I don't even know.
Do you step back from "moments" and consider your safety in God's love?
Blessings-Penny
