Reminders

A Ford Focus

God works in mysterious ways.  It seems, that on my most stressful days, God reminds me to FOCUS.  Specifically, to focus on Him, on what is good in the world.  On days that I'm really feeling overloaded, I always end up behind a Ford Focus.  God gets a little help with this as there were nearly 600,000 sold in the United States in the past three years!

As most of you know, Haylee was struck by a Ford Focus which led to her death.  (I never quite know how that will come out...my daughter was killed by a distracted driver.)  I used to always think of her, which I still do, but seeing the word focus also reminds me to keep my mind on the road.  A funny thing happens when I focus on driving.

Besides see, ing the big picture, allowing me to be a better driver, my mind gains some clarity.  I'm able to revisit the day with another perspective. When I focus, my mind is allowed to process all of the information it receives.    So perhaps, I am now grateful for Ford Focus ---- reminding me of the good instead of the alternative.
