Shattered

The back door of her car shut -hard and glass went everywhere. Cascades of it. Shattered- splilling out on the ground inside the car and yet not on her but everywhere. It was a moment in time that was amazing and just really scared her in every way. But it was ok.
Neigbors walked by as she swept up the chards of glass and asked, "did someone break into your car? No! oh Good!" Well sort of good... No it just broke
The man at the glass store where she took it for repair walked around her car and said, "Don't you hate it when that happens!" Yup, pretty much.
But it was reparied, covered by insurance. All ok...and they fixed some light too. Anyway it was pretty amazing I thought!

Life is something like that glass. Something pushes a little to hard and everything is shattered--Plans, hearts, hopes, the world changes.

But unlike glass. Life can be repaired. Life is always change and change is what happens while we live. And sometimes---to be sure---- things seem to change out of our hands. Out of our plan..
Here's where the Good News comes in. Troubles are not given to us to make us stronger, shattered hearts, or dreams or hopes, are not a test of our faith. This is part of life. Hear this .----Always and forever God abides in these times. Insurance like no other that we are not alone...blessed assurance to the core of our being that God is always present and when we fall or faint or feel like we might, God is present in it as well. And that is wonderful wonderful good news.

God abide
And we give thanks to God.
