THE ACCIDENT

Sadly,on the way home from town tonight,we came upon a terrible road accident.Two fire-engines and an ambulance sped to the scene and we were diverted onto another road.I began to shiver at the thought of what might have happened and immediately texted our two lads who both drive,to tell them to be extra cautious when travelling home later from university for Christmas as the roads appeared to be slippy.When you witness something like this it suddenly makes you realise how precious life is and how easy it is for things to change in a split second.We live sometimes like we think we are going to be here forever,how wrong could we be.I was very conscious tonight of our human vulnerability and yet blessed to know that my times are in His hands.I urge you this Christmas to invite The Baby in the manger into your life,if you don't already know Him,as you don't know what's further along the road.
