I never thought about it that way before! Since I walk 30 minutes to school every morning, I get so frustrated when I'm stuck behind slow-walking people. I'll definitely be remembering what you shared next time!

It's amazing when you hear these stories, of how people miss death and tragedy sometimes just by minutes. I firmly believe that when your time is up, then it will happen, and nothing can be done to avoid it.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-20581892262639682282011-03-01T12:09:09.240-05:002011-03-01T12:09:09.240-05:00i like these thoughts, too. everyone is already s...i like these thoughts, too. everyone is already saying what i wanted to say though. :) i was happy to see you were the first to enter the giveaway! <br /><br />is it bad that i am wishing there were a way to let everyone win? haha....i don't like just choosing one!Jenni Austria Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300480531614136453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-61360164197794794632011-03-01T11:50:40.075-05:002011-03-01T11:50:40.075-05:00I second Amanda's comment.

I know I say that all the time, but I mean it everytime! I love that you qualified that those of us who believe in Him and the fact that divine intervention occurs on a regular basis, that doesn't mean we are loved more. We just recognize it as something different- something deliberate, not fate. What a wonderful blessing to have been delayed those few minutes. SO happy you are safe and I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973312541039980567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-3802652962594589942011-03-01T11:30:02.026-05:002011-03-01T11:30:02.026-05:00Wow...isn't that the truth.

Later, I reminded myself I must have needed some quiet time out in the "wilderness" or I was being kept off the freeway for a reason. I only wish I could have felt that faith and calmness during the lost part :) later was better than never though.jeanette from everton terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025486213973874174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-54353684114832457702011-03-01T09:17:28.839-05:002011-03-01T09:17:28.839-05:00Oh this post is so true!
