An accident

"Babe, can you open the door?" my husband asked as Carmela and I lay sound asleep in our bed.  This is weird, I thought.  
"Why," I asked him.  "Where are your keys?"
"Just open the door, " he said.
I got up quickly out of bed, scared that Carmela may roll out, and opened the door to see my husband standing there; gripping his arm tight.
"I got in an accident," he said.
"What?!?!  Are you serious baby?!?!"  Anger and frustration welled up inside me.  Yes, that was my first re-action.  I had begged him not to go driving at night and he went anyways.  Oh Lord, help me.

After this there were tears and lots of questions, but ultimately my heart was thankful he was okay.  We ended up going in an ambulance 3 hours away to a city that had a hospital with an X-Ray machine. Turns out he had broken/fractured his collar bone.  Luckily he was wearing his helmet and gym shoes, so his head and feet were protected.  I am so thankful that nothing worse happened. 

"Thank you Lord for protecting my husband!" I prayed.  "Thank you Lord that he is still alive!" 

He will have to heal for a few months and not carry anything heavy.  Please pray for us.  He usually gets water from the well- four trips a day- and does many other things for us.  So now, everything is a bit more difficult for awhile.  But like I said, I am grateful to God he is alright. 

                                         Carmela is still having a good time with her grandma Anita!

                                         Also, with her cousin Rain who visited in the hospital.

 At the end of everyday, we can just be grateful for this life.  This life that is a gift.  For we are never promised tomorrow.  Praise God for all his blessings.  Your family; husbands, wives, parents, children.

But most of all, for Jesus. 

John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
