A Sister is Held Even Closer

For those of you who have been following the Christian and Stephanie Nielson story which I posted about few weeks ago, read a heart warming update:

Our friends, the Reeses were involved in a head on collision last night, on their way back to the airport after a long weekend holiday to Wales. Valerie was rushed by ambulance to the hospital with chest pains and breathing problems, while the rest of the family came out unscathed, bar a few scrapes, aches and bumps. Luckily Valerie was released this morning after many tests and careful watch overnight. We are so relieved that they are doing well. She said that it could have been a whole lot worse.

It's stories like these that drive me to make the most of the time we have been given, to see the big picture and live each day for what it is. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime. No one is exempt from these sorts of trials. We need to make sure we are living the best we can and enjoy each day to the full.
