Grateful...

Well, yesterday did not go as I had expected, but what in life really does? As I was waiting on my husband Michael to get home from work so I could go to the gym, I realized he was running later than normal. I tried his cell and it went straight to voicemail. Tried several more times and still nothing and that is when I got the call. A patient rep from the Medical Center was calling to tell me they had Michael there. The only information she would give me was that he had been in an accident, flipped his truck three times and was "talking" some. I was in a panic. I scooped my two boys up and put them in the car and took them to my Mom's. Many thoughts were going through my mind, was he ok, how badly was he hurt, etc. My mind was racing. When I finally arrived at the Med. Center, they still would not let me back to see or give me any other information. Thank goodness my Dad had come over to be with me, as we had to sit for what seemed like forever. Michael's family soon arrived as well, and were not given any other information either. I was finally able to get through to him on his cell, but just for a second and still really did not know how he was doing. After 4 hours of waiting, we were finally able to go back and see him. Yes, he had flipped his truck three times and the only injury he received was a broken ankle. Someone up above was really watching over him and our family. To come out of that type of wreck with as little of damage as he has is amazing to me. So, today, I am so grateful. Grateful for God for watching over my family, grateful to have my husband home safe and sound, grateful to my wonderful family for being there with me and to all my wonderful friends who came to the hospital to wait with us and those that called to check on us throughout the night. I have so much to be grateful for and truly believe God has a hand in everything we do. So, today, what are you grateful for?

Wow Kelly, I am so thankful that your family is ok. It is amazing how things can change in a heartbeat and your world can turn upside down. That's why I personally love the comfort of having God be the constant through whatever storms may come. God Bless!
