canoe accident | 365daysofmarriage

I can’t believe that it has been eight years since we almost died. So much has happened in the last eight years, and I am so thankful that God was gracious and let us live. We are still constantly amazed and aware of the shortness of our lives. I know I say it all the time, but we really do speak in terms almost daily about the shortness of our lives. Some mornings, we say “Yay! Another day together!” because we truly aren’t guaranteed any set number of days or years. When a friend asked how long I planned on continuing this blog, I laughed and said, “until one of us dies?” Dark humor, maybe, but true. We say “love ya, it’s been real” most times we say goodbye. It’s a really great way to live, it helps to forgive easier, and move on quickly. It fills you with such a sense of thankfulness.

So, what are you thankful for today?

This photo is NOT from our near death day, but a kayak trip we took in 2014. I’m glad we got back on the water. But I will say, I have not been in a canoe since!
