I'm kind of in a somber mood tonight. I've just been thinking about the fraility of life and how fleeting it is.
My friend Andrea shared something on facebook tonight about a young mom and her almost full term baby who were in a tragic car accident this past week. A dump truck crossed the line. They were rushed to the hospital but in the end neither survived. Her husband and three year-old daughter are left behind.
It really hit home for me. Do you know how many times I've passed a big truck like that and thought to myself, "it would only take one slip of the wheel....". It's sobering really.
Ok, I don't mean to be depressing but it IS reality isn't it? Most days I live as if I will see the next. As if the next day is guaranteed even though I know it isn't really.
Psalm 39:5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.
It's good for me to remember how fragile life can be. I tend to forget.
