A Long Day

Well, enough excitement for me! Cary and Carissa, along with 15 others from our college group have been skiing in Colorado. Tonight, they were supposed to be home. However, this afternoon, while headed to the airport, the bus they were in went off an embankment and rolled. We have been told that it was a miracle that there were no fatalities. All of them, along with the bus driver, were taken to hospitals and checked out. At this point, it seems there are no critical injuries and everyone will be fine. It has been a long and busy night, but I am so thankful that everyone is physically alright. I'm praying for all of them tonight, it was a very tramatic experience and I am sure they will all be re-living it for a long time. I'm also thankful for friends, the ones that you call and they are at your door before you know it. We had lots of support almost as quick as it happened. Once again, God has protected our own. Last year at this time Cary was home from skiing, mom was already back in the hospital for the final time, and we knew that her surgery had failed. In my heart I knew that she was giving up and heading Home. I am glad that God numbered our days before there was one of them-all we have to do is live out what we've been given. I think mom had a part in deciding when she was going Home, but the outcome of today's accident could have been much different. Live today as if it were your last.
