It amazes me how quickly God can snap me back into perspective.
One night my mom and I got into a silly argument that resulted in both of us in tears. As I am laying in bed trying to soothe the hurt and reminding myself to keep my eyes on God and He will take care of everything else, I receive a phone call from a dear friend. The shaken voice on the other end startled me. Her nephew was being flown to a hospital after a terrible motorcycle accident, the diagnosis was unknown. As she finished telling me everything she knew and asking for prayers, God shook me. What was going on in my world was nothing compared to what was happening in this family's life. I couldn't believe how selfish I had been!
The good news is he had six broken ribs, a broken clavicle which will require surgery, and a collapsed lung but no internal bleeding or paralysis. And God showed me yet once again how GREAT He is and how small I am.
