A dear friend was recently in a severe automobile
accident. It was so severe that his 20+
year old pickup made of steel was totaled.
When he called me today to inform me of the accident, he said that he
was fortunate to not have any broken bones.
We picked up on the topic which we had discussed in the not so
distant past. He had stated that although he didn’t truly feel he was invincible,
he always managed to escape death, sometimes by a very narrow margin.
Here’s the thing that struck me about his good fortune in
escaping the odds. Simply put, I think that it was not and is not his
time. When an individual sidesteps death
on so many occasions, chances are that he/she has life yet to live. In a word,
there are experiences yet to be undertaken.
So I told him, it is not your time/you have so much left to
do.
