Why Me Lord?

Ever wonder why do all these things happen to me? I sure do. It has been a rough couple of weeks. I try to see the big picture, but the picture keeps getting smaller and smaller. Last weekend, the 17th, we wanted to go camping....so my hubby decides to hook up his (new to him) big dually to the camper for the first time and drive it around for us to ready for our trip. What happens? It catches fire. Yep, smoke coming from under the hood. It is a site to see a 40 something grown man cry. Ok, so it is a wire off. A hot wire off, melted some plastic, and burnt a hole in the breakline. Everything is fixed now. But, if that would have happened while he was driving down the road, I might have lost my hubby! Now one ponders....was this some cosmic thing that happened to keep harm from the family? Are my deceased parents really watching out for me?

This past Saturday, I was rushing around taking my kid to the eye doctor (yes, glasses were ordered!) and then to the Goodwill store to find a pair of pants to go with his "Elvis" costume. Actually found what we needed, but as we were leaving, a Jeep hit us--blamo--right in the driver's front side. My son and I are a bit sore, but nothing major. The driver that hit us was not hurt either, but was 2 weeks from her due date! YIKES! They were nice people. We both wondered....Why Me Lord? When trying to find the reason, I am at a lost. Perhaps the Lord is telling me to slow down and smell the roses. Perhaps something worse would have been down the road?

I try not to harp on this and look at the bright side of things.....like my son winning the costume contest for 6th, 7th and 8th grade kids at the Harvest Fest. Here is a picture of him in his winning costume.

Take care and remember to always try to see the bright side......but you can still ask yourself.....Why Me Lord?
