Early this afternoon it was wonderfully warm
and sunny outside and I wanted to walk my Sheltie, Lacey, to On the way home from the grocery store I
heard on the radio that a car had gone wildly out of control and flew into the
Union/Lindell entrance of Forest Park at a very high rate of speed. It
just missed the large statue at the entrance, flew over a lagoon and smashed
headfirst into a large tree, killing one occupant and injuring two
others. After getting home I took Lacey there and
looked at the crash site. Emergency vehicles still filled the streets,
police were taking photos, and yellow tape marked off the entrance where Lacey
and I always enter and begin our walk, right along the same side of the statue
where the car charged past it. And there, where Lacey likes to run and bark,
was the car---so severely smashed that the entire front of it was nearly
missing. Earlier this morning as I prayed in the
sunroom I told the Lord I’ve been enduring so much adversity lately that
I wondered if He is just chastising me for my own good, or if I am just so
displeasing to Him that I have no hope of ever getting back underneath His protective
wings of blessings. I asked Him, if that were true, if He would just
forgive me and take me to be with Him today. Then I left it in His hands…and
went to the grocery store. As I stared at the path that I could so easily
have taken at the moment that car hurtled into Izzy Prov
3: 5Trust in the LORD with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy
paths. |
