"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." –John 16:33

Gravity

Several things have happened in the past couple of weeks that merit serious thought and gravity.  In a way, the fact that these things happened is good. It is difficult to stress how easy it is for me to fall into self-centeredness, self-pity, vanity.  The things that happened are very sad, but they help to snap me out of myself.

On Friday I learned of a friend of a friend who was terribly injured and burned in a freak car accident. She is just sixteen. I know we would have been good friends if we lived closer.  My thoughts have not left her or her family for the past four days.  We are praying for her swift recovery!  Also, two of my good friends have very recently lost a loved one. I don’t personally know the girl who was injured, or my friend’s loved ones, but their lives have impacted my life a little in a good way.  Life is much, much, much too short to worry about the outside, to be caught up in silly physical things, to be caught up in yourself.
