In 2016, Jacee Beth Thomas was in an auto/train accident and thus began her long journey back to strength and a life well lived…Little by little she worked hard to achieve small and large milestones in her recovery. I used to read rodeo news and saw this article as soon as it happened. I have followed her, prayed for her, and found joy in watching her and her loving family overcome numerous obstacles. They have hundreds of followers, and this is just a small way I could show I pray and root for them every day!
I haven’t met you, but my heart is somehow connected. I’ve cried and worried about you… I send prayers for you every day, and there is no doubt how much I care. Every little triumph makes my heart soar and leaves me wanting more. I feel emotions all at once – sadness, love, compassion, and gratitude. fear, hope, and steely faith that God’s got this!
Sadness, wishing that it hadn’t happened…. Love and compassion for your pain, your family, and friends in this beautiful life that was changed in an instant. Gratitude it wasn’t my child but fear, knowing it could’ve been and still could be…. Unwavering hope that improvement continues and faith as strong as steel, that no matter what, this amazing family will carry on in love and steadfastness.
Our Father knew what He was doing when he breathed love for a child into a parent, the love of a friend strong and true, and the love of humans to feel the pain of someone we don’t even know. Loving is a miraculous choice. God could have made us pawns ‘starring’ in an interesting show for His amusement except that we are so much more in His eyes. He longs for us to choose His way of care and kindness toward our families and fellow man. Since we are not created as robots in a pre-planned world, bad things happen (yes, to good people). Thankfully, when we seek it, God supplies the strength we need to turn to Him and recognize Him as our Savior, the master of our life plan, and the King of our souls.
Philippians 4:13 I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me”
Matt-11-28″ Come to me, all who are weary and burdened; I will give you rest.
Luke: 12:23-24 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap; they have no storehouse or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds?
