NEWS FLASH - Anna, my sweet 11 year old, as of this morning, can raise her hand and say yes. In a late for school hurry she fell on the bottom step and broke her leg. Wow. We have been hanging out with doctors all day today. She will tell this story when she is old and gray. Please pray for her when you remember.
Don't want to debrief too fast. Way too much to learn. But when my dad had surprise by-pass in 1998, I discovered right away, that catastrophes present gifts of time together that would have otherwise never happened. For 11 year old girls with long dark hair named Anna, they also provide lots of love and mid-day chocolate peanut butter smoothies that would otherwise have never been tasted! Not worth a broken leg on day #2 of middle school, but not a bad consolation prize either!
