Advent Thought 7 and Number 6

1. I survived childbirth. Tougher in 1955 than today.

2. I clung on by my fingertips when climbing by myself aged 9 and slipped. Long drop.

3. Measles and chicken pox were not always so trivial.

4. Serious car accident aged 14. Lost some teeth.

5. Had a drink in the Tavern in the Town the night before the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974.

6.  Had serious asthma attack aged 24.

How many times can you say you've diced with death? Was it luck, divine providence or both? And what does it teach you about the risk of the incarnation? Was it luck, divine providence or both?

Hide away from the bad
Count the nine lives that you had.
