My car had a tough week
In the past seven days this little camry has run over a squirrel, had a duck hit the windshield and just a couple nights ago a rather large deer ended the life of the left front light and blinker
I miss the lights for sure
They say things come in threes-right now that is fine.
Ever feel you are being bombarded from every direction?
Like no matter what direction you are headed you get hit?
Insecure about what might be around the next turn?
Going 65 miles an hour and having a deer run out in front of you...well, there is pretty much nothing you can do but buckle up
boom...and then silence
maybe 10 seconds...before I noticed my wife's "that could have been a whole lot worse look"
She was right
That deer could have come right through the windshield
Our whole lives could have changed
Still, this moment could have led to a lot of anger about inconvenience or money or time
Two weeks ago a friend challenged us to write down 10 things per day we were thankful for...every day 10 new things
It is not as hard as I would have thought
I have a lot to be thankful for...a lot....a real lot...a real real lot
Know what I mean?
This accident, this moment...it is somehow leading us even more toward a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving

Why do you think God was throwing all of those animals at you?
Sorry-I just had to chuckle...... a little.
guess He wanted to see how agile I was..I failed
