He Knows the Days

I witnessed a fatal car accident on my way to work tonight. I was headed west on Hampden just before Federal and saw an East bound car fly up into the air, cross the median and land in a cloud of dirt and smoke on the opposite side 100 feet in front of me. It hit three other cars before it came to rest. I slammed on my brakes and pulled to the side of the road and as the dust and commotion slowed I realized I was seeing a body lying in the middle of the road. It was one of those time in my life when I realized once again how quickly my life as I know it could end. Three people were living there lives on their way to destinations and in the blink of an eye were dead. I was useless at work. I couldn't get the images out of my head. I just wanted to come home and kiss my son and husband and be thankful that today was not the day God decided to call me (and my unborn son) home to heaven. God willing, we will see another sunrise and I will meet my little Tyler Scott VanDewater.

I have goosebumps! That's enough to make you stop in your tracks, take a big, deep breath ... and thank God for every day of your life!
