9 Lives?

Each day we go about our daily business, and rarely

take alot of time to think about life's "what if's".

Today, while making a quick trip to Syracuse

to get groceries....we had 3 "what if" experiences.

THREE times, we were nearly hit by cars that

either ran stop signs, shot out in front of us from

a parking lot or nearly side-swiped us because

they apparently don't know how to drive.

Some folks might say we were lucky....

but since I don't believe in luck,

I personally say "thank you Lord, for your

hand of protection".

The older I get, the more I realize it that it

takes a split second to change so much about our life

here on this earth.

I am thankful that our three encounters

did not become one of those 'change your life forever'

moments.

May I be about His business, remembering

to always redeem the time I have on this

side of glory.
