In the blink of an eye
« on: August 18, 2019, 10:31:54 am »
Like can change. In the blink of an eye.  You are not promised tomorrow.

A kid from church was killed this morning in a car wreck.  We got word just as church was starting.

She had her whole life ahead of her and I am sure when she got up and started her day she had no idea it would end in a few hours.  That she would step out in to eternity.

Wow; how tragic. It is true that life can change in the blink of an eye. I always tell my kids to be grateful for today; tomorrow is not a promise.

It's scary how sudden things can change, and you wouldn't even know.  :-\

So very sorry for the loss of one so young.  Pray comfort and encouragement for all.  I try to live each day to the fullest and with as much meaning as possible.

Last year a good friend of mine went for a walk and was hit and killed by a truck.  She had 3 young children at home.  It was winter and the truck slid on the ice. (he was killed too).
She and I used to go for a walk every day together but that day I just didn't feel up to it.  Maybe if I had gone she would be in a different spot at that time.  But that one event changed many lives in a blink of an eye.

It helps to have an eternal perspective on life, but not everyone does. I believe our life here on Earth is but a small segment of our eternal existence and that goes for my son that died when he was five years old.

Thanks for sharing that, oldbuddy. That's one of the hardest deaths to endure.

I had a grandbaby die after being in this world for 12 days. She was quite premature. We'll see them again in heaven.
