Having to contend with my mortality made me realise two very important things - 1) I was not afraid, I had complete peace that I was going to meet Jesus; and 2) my heart ached for the pain and grief my family would experience if I died so young and I KNEW that from now on every moment with then needed to be seen through these new eyes of understanding.<BR/>Thank you for becoming my friend - you are a great gift to this Australian gal! May I never forget to let you know how much difference you make in this world. Thank you Lord for saving Cristina.Jenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-80174237292063900162008-01-07T10:09:00.000-05:002008-01-07T10:09:00.000-05:00While I've only just recently started reading your...While I've only just recently started reading your blog, I am so glad you were given that second chance! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750119018720696852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-6942977350799779422008-01-06T23:31:00.000-05:002008-01-06T23:31:00.000-05:00I thank the Lord for selfesh reasons.

No wonder you celebrate each anniversary of this epiphany as a bonus year when you had such a close shave then. I'd imagine that it gives you the feeling of being protected by a higher power.<BR/>Looking forward to another year of your homeschool moments,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
