Sunday on the way home from church, I was driving North on US 1 near 34th street. There are some trees that hang over the road there. While I was rolling through at 45 mph, a branch fell and hit the Mustang. It bonked the hood, scraped over the top and left a mark on the rear spoiler.
Now if you are saying, well this is only a 2010 Mustang, nothing to be worried about, you are correct. Except that it is my only Mustang, and I might be overly attached to it.
I was a bit miffed by the chance branch attack. Some would say it was an act of God. You know, random things that happen that we humans like to blame God for.
Well personally, I don't believe that God makes branches fall on certain people's vehicles. I don't believe that he makes people get cancer. I don't believe that he causes our pets to get hit by cars. I believe that a lot of random things happen in this life, and we are very fortunate to have the Good Lord at hand to lean on when things are tough.
So if something bad has happened to you, don't blame God. He isn't up there pushing buttons to punish you. Somethings bad stuff happens. I am just so very glad that he is there to walk with us through whatever may be bothering us.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
