Blindsided--100 Words



Blindsided.

Ever been blindsided? Sure you have.

Hurts.

Stinks.

Unfair.

Painful.

I guess what hurts the most is that you just don’t see the sudden jar coming.

Ask Hall of Fame football quarterback Joe Theismann.

Ask the parent whose 15-year-old daughter just got pregnant.

Ask the 30-year-old father who has just been told he has six months to live.

Ask the 61-year-old employee who has just been “downsized.”

Ask the parent of the child whose name shows up on the roadside AMBER alert signs.

Blindsided.

Lord help us to deal with the blindsides. Give us Your strength. Wisdom. Grace. Mercy.
