A lot of the time, we get distracted by the small things in life - what we will have for lunch, dreading going to work or worrying about what other people think about us. Sometimes, it takes a near-death- experience to put things into perspective. Today when Jeffy was driving to plaza he had one of these at an intersection.
The light turned green // Jeffy started to drive forward // A car ran a red light and drove at 80km/hr straight towards his body on his left // Jeffy braked hard // The other car swerved and missed hitting J's car by a small distance
This got us thinking how blessed J is to survive that:
- Jeffy only just changed his break pads last week - if he hadn't, he wouldn't have stopped in time to avoid a crash/fatal accident.
- The car behind him stopped in time to not hit him from behind.
- Jeffy didn't move forward straight away after the light turned green and avoided the crash.
God's timing:
- Jeffy losing his close shifts (main source of income) - We think it's God forcing him to find a full time job and to learn to rely on Him to provide.
It's pretty amazing. In the wise words of Wells Fargo: "God still has a mission for you" We aren't in control, no matter how much we think we are. Our lives can be taken away in just a few seconds. I implore you to think about why you are living. To earn money so you can live a comfortable life? To have fun and live life to the fullest? Whatever it is, is this worth living for? Will it last or is it fleeting?
