Cars & Prayers

Today I offered a simple prayer of thanks for the protection of my sister, cousin and friend who were in a major vehicle accident late last night.  The Lord was gracious to protect them, and we choose "not to forget His benefits to us." He is wise who appreciates the frailty of this life and the goodness of a Father's heart found in prayer.

  

I'm reading That Incredible Christian - a great little book left long forgotten since my freshman year of college.  A.W. Tozer says, "...the wise of this world in their pride often miss the treasures which the simple-hearted find on their knees."  

Today, I chose not to miss the treasure of a prayer of thankfulness.  Thank you Lord for preserving, if but for another day, the lives of those who mean so much to so many.
