Every parent is concerned about the safety of their children. Even when the child is not doing what they are supposed to do, the parent does not want bad things to happen to the child. And parents make many rules for their children to help keep them safe. The child may not understand why the rules are made, but they should know that the rules are to help keep them safe. Even when the child is grown up and moved away from home, the parents will pray that they stay safe.
Bad things can happen even to good people.
Accidents can happen even when you are doing what you are supposed to do. Last night my family and I visited a funeral home to see parents whose daughter was killed in a car wreck. The daughter was in her early 20's, had just finished college, and had started teaching school one week ago. She had been a student leader on campus while in college. She was a fine Christian young lady.
