Family Scare

We had quite the scare about a week ago. My dad was in a motorcycle accident on a bad corner on Roger's Rd. He broke 3 ribs and split his liver in 2. He is recovering quickly though and he is very lucky. The whole situation made my faith in God stronger than ever. I don't understand people who don't believe in God. Everything happens for a reason and I don't get how people don't think that there is a higher power involved. The weirdest things were that my phone had died right before I left work, I, for some reason, felt like I needed my cell phone for the 10 minute drive home so I put my SIM card in a work phone (something that I have never done before). I was picking the girls up from daycare and the phone would not stop ringing. I looked at it when I got in the car and I had like 5 missed calls. 2 from Autumn and 3 from Keith from work. I called Keith back and apparently him and my boss Justin had been right behind my dad when he wrecked. They got his phone from him and when they opened it they saw a picture of Hannah. Immediately they knew he was related to me. So, they called me. It was very scary, but I impressed myself by how calm I could act in an emergency. If they hadn't have been behind him, I don't think anybody would have seen him in that ditch.
Moral of the story: THERE IS A GOD. Believe. Pray. Be thankful everyday for what you have and don't take your loved ones for granted. You never know when they will be taken from you.
