Another beautiful day with a sad twist

The day started out great. I have accomplished a lot in the last few days. Still waiting for the job, but things are looking better. The sun gave us a beautiful sunrise! It was still cold for me, but a beautiful beginning to a good day.
My son, who lives in another state,called to let me know that his bosses son had just been diagnosed with bone cancer. He is only seven years old. Wow, I thought, that was a blow for me. I could not even begin to imagine that man's grief. This man is in the same business I used to have. So of course I know him, but as a fellow businessman. What a horrible bit of news for any parent. The little guy has barely begun to live and now it seems he will not be around for another birthday.
So with this horrible news dwelling within my thoughts, I look around at all I have. Yeah, I started counting my blessings. You never know when things can change for you. It can happen in a heart beat. I can attest to that.
As hard as it is, I know God's hand is in there somewhere. Maybe one day we will all be able to understand what God was doing. But for now, we just have to trust. I have added to my prayers today , Rodney and his son. I pray the Lord take care and keep the family strong through this horrible ordeal that they must face.
