Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate   and righteous man... He will have no fear of bad news; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.              Psalm 112: verses 4, 7 

My story goes like this...

I was a 10 year old boy when I was in a car accident with my mother and sister.  Both my mother and sister died that day and I had some minor injuries but otherwise pretty good. I was released from the hospital 3 days after the accident. I had a lot questions and was mad that God had taken my mother and sister away from me. I was 10 and didn't understand it.

Then I felt guilt!  Why wasn't I the one taken away! That way my dad and other sister would still have their wife and mother. My dad was a rock and he said, "Life goes on, son. We have to move on." I didn't like that but I understood after a while.

A few years went by and I slowly felt better and knew God had a plan.  He had a plan for me, my mom and my sister. This was the plan I have to live every day for the rest  of my life. I know that they are my angels and they look out for me, my other sister  and my dad. I am still saddened but I am at peace with what happened that sunny November day.

Prayer: Dear God, Please watch over all your children and give them strength to get through each and every day, good and bad. Give them hope and help them with love and understanding so that they know you have a plan.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
