I have had lots to think about this weekend.
I'd like to think that I am in control....control of my life and my little world.
Sometimes you get a reminder that we really aren't the ones in charge.
This time, it hit a little too close to home.
My friend Carol's husband was in a serious car accident. He has severe injuries. So severe that she isn't quite sure when he will be released and once released not sure when they can travel back home.
Life can change in a matter of minutes.
My heart aches for her and her family. She has been through much this weekend and the reality is setting in. It is going to take a long time. She is a strong person and I know that they will make it through.
I am reminded that the most important things are our family members. The relationships that we develop, the ways that we treat one another and the time that we spend together.
Although we never know WHY....I do know that the Lord is always mindful of us. The Savior knows our pains, our heartaches and can lift our burdens. I'm sure that later, Carol will see many blessings in the midst of this crisis.
I feel helpless...and all I know to do is pray. So please keep Doug and Carol and their kids in your prayers.
