Overcoming

9 years ago today I had the accident of all accidents so far in my life. I fell from a 6 foot ladder in my back yard while washing my siding and literally tore my left foot off. It was a long emergancy surgery and 16 weeks of re-hab, but I was able to over come with flying colors. I now have only a slight limp, but pain daily. (Good thing I consider myself to have a high tolerance for pain) I say all of that to say....... We never know what will happen in our lives from one minute to the next. With every passing day, I realize that more and more. But I try to tell my kids 2 things.....1. Trust God and he will see you through anything. 2. No matter what happens, you can always come home.
It's funny how little triumps in our lives makes us stronger people. But between you and me, I plan on letting someone else wash my siding in the years to come. It doesn't take me long to learn my lesson. :)
