HOW ONE MINUTE CAN CHANGE LIFE
Last weekend we were driving down a busy street near our home to stop at a restaurant/food stand for a quick sandwich. As we approached the restaurant we saw cars begin to slow down. A huge accident had just occurred minutes before we drove down that very lane of traffic. A tractor trailer had drifted into the oncoming lane that we were in and hit a van with two people in it head on. The van had tried to swerve out of the way but it was no match for the tractor and both ended up in the front of a house that had been converted to an animal clinic. The two people in the van were killed instantly and the truckers lived. Ambulances and police came on the site within minutes after we had passed the area.
Was it just fate that we drove slower that day; was it their untimely coincidence that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Is there a greater plan out in the universe when people are taken from us so quickly without any warning? We never know when our time is up. We don’t have to be sick, elderly or ailing to be called to a greater place.
Just another reminder to make the most of life on this earth and to enjoy and live well each day.
