Life sneaks up

Sometimes in life you are cruising along nicely congratulating yourself on how well you've got it together when out of nowhere you're thrown a curveball. And as we all know, in our climate, when it rains it pours and refuses to stop however much you ask it to.
Literaly minutes after finishing my last post we had a call from my Sister to say my niece, little Lulu was in hospital with a hole in the heart. We dashed down and people flew back from gibraltar and Jersey and it was all very stressful for my sis. But then it began to get sorted. Lulu is being fed through a tube at home till she can have her operation and things were looking up.
Then last wednesday my Nan collapsed and died at home. It was very sudden and very sad.
The whole family is shocked and all i can say is if it weren't for the grace of God and his love and assurance I'm not sure I would be coping (how those in my family who don't believe in or trust in God are coping is beyond me!!). On top of that my Nan's neice in Ireland diedand our car got smashed up by a suicidal badger!
Anyway, once more things seem to be calming down. We are all left sad without my Nan, and anxious about Lulu but I for one am having to trust in God that he sees the bigger picture.
It all puts fringes and silly lists into perspective.
Till next time
