A Near-Fatal Day!

This was prepared on the 28th of February, 2013. I couldn't post it on that day and I have been forgetting to post it since that day.

As usual, I woke up this morning very early, did my daily routine and left my house at 5:55am, to get to the bus-stage near my house at 6:00am. I boarded one of the buses that were competing to get us as passengers.

The road to the city from my house is a super free-way. We were cruising at around 80 mph (OK… maybe 180 mph).  Then this minivan from nowhere comes right in front of us and slows down. There was no way our driver could have applied emergency brakes, otherwise the bus could have rolled. On both sides of our lanes were vehicles.

Our driver swerved within our lane at that speed… at some point, we were riding on two wheels of both sides, each at a time, before the bus stabilized. I was very scared. I was expecting something to happen to our bus…like a crash, or that we would hit one of the vehicles on the road. I thank God for taking care of me, and for the driver… the very confident driver. God, I know you are still God. I love you. I may have my weak moments… unfaithful and sometimes unreasonable. Forgive me. I pray that you may always watch over me… and let everything that I do be for the glory and honor of your Holy Name.

At the end of that scary incident, I realized that life is very short… and that it is very important to thank God for everything that He has endowed us with.  I also realized that it is important to smile, take each day at a time and tell the people that you love what you exactly feel. Don’t with-hold what you feel.

There’s no need to worry, worrying doesn’t change anything. All it does is steal the moment that you have to smile and to make things beautiful.  You don’t want to do that, do you?

I thank God for the fact that I am alive and healthy.

One more thing: Appreciate everyone around you. They’ll not always be there. Enjoy every moment you have with them.

I love you all! I always have! I always will.

Hugs and Kisses!
