THINK ABOUT IT 4-10-25
At noon last Saturday I was sitting on a swing in the backyard. Charlie, my dog, was laying between my feet. It was a gloomy day with an occasional sprinkle, but no rain or storms. It was an ideal day to relax, think, and exercise my legs.
All of a sudden the loudest and brightest lightening bolt I ever heard seemed to hit right where I was sitting! The sight and sound of it took my breath away. Charlie jumped up, spun around and headed for the house. I was in a state of shock ( no pun intended).
The swing is mounted on a metal frame and I could hear cracking and feel the static electricity in my body. I never felt so close to dying in my life. As I jumped up I was right behind Charlie headed for the door I had to hold back tears. As Elvis used to sing, I was “All shook up”!
In that split second I was reminded how quickly life can end. I mention this to remind you that the same is true of all of us. It might not have anything to do with lightening- it could be a car wreck, a heart attack, a bullet, or an unknown cause. That should cause all of us to be thankful for the gift of life and the gifts of life. Think about it! – HDS
