It is funny because I never lost me but that day it really felt like I did
Prior to "The Day" life had been grand, everything was going the way I like to think God had planned
I mean life could not be any better
Waking up every morning being able to look into the eyes of the future and seeing a clear path to destiny
I was able to hold God's greatest gift in my arms, my son
He would look at me with a promising glare and know that he was protected
I could hear his angelic voice call out "Daddy" even if he was not around
It would resound in my memory as if he sat next to me at that very moment
Life was at its greatest moment when the simple things made me smile

Wow...very touching Teddy. God definitely has a way of creating the defining moment in our lives, that moment when it's just you and Him and you have no choice but to trust Him. I am moved by your testimony and I pray that you continue to be blessed.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice Teddy!
ReplyDeleteKevan...I cant express how grateful I am to have You back to normal. Our son adores you and I am very thankful that you two have the relationship that you do. As for me, we've known each other since the 6th grade and I have watched you grow into the person you are today. I am happy that you are apart of my life and cant imagine what it would be like without you. Your "accident" didn't just affect you, but it affected me as well. I would sit next to you in the hospital and talk to you while you were unconcious just hoping that you felt my presence even though you couldn't respond...I remember the first time you "came to" and you looked at me so surprised that I was there.. I wanted to let you know at that moment that I will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what and deep down I know you will be there for me as well.
You are very blessed and I look forward to watching you grow even more into the person you are destined to be..
Love Always,
Steph
This reminds me of the book of Job where your faith is tested and you have no choice but to trust God to give you back all you've lost plus more. It's terrifying to focus on the fragility of life and how instantly a dramatic event can completely change our course. But Thank God he is able to change "accidents" to miracles and get the glory! :))
ReplyDeleteGreat piece Teddy! It was so powerful, I read it twice!
