Saturday last, my eldest son (18) took our other son (16) and daughter (13) on a Christmas shopping trip in his car. All our precious children in one car with an inexperienced driver. Mrs S and I worried until they were safe home, and our prayer level dropped. That night, the oldest son was out driving alone in the first frost of his driving career, and spun his car on a bad bend near our village. I was unaware of this, and later that night, on the way back from playing a ceilidh, I lost the back end of the car on the same bend, and fortunately steered into the skid and controlled the car again.



So, noone or thing came to harm, but what a thin thread our modern lives hang by?


Skarpi, thank you for posting this heartfelt message, it reminds us again what we are always forgetting, to love for today.

Peace be with you.
