Today there was a horrific plane crash in Libya. Everyone on board died (103) except for one. One little boy, 10 years old, was the only survivor of this crash. The story has been on headlines all over the world today and this boy will be famous for a little while at least. It reminds me of the movie Unbreakable. A film starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson in which Bruce Willis character is the only survivor of a train wreck where over 300 people die. It turns out that he has some super power that he himself is "unbreakable". Thats beside the point though. What I'm getting at is you would have to be thrilled to be the lone survivor of a terrible accident like this and have your life spared. But i'd be thinking why me? what did i do to get to survive? is it a sign im suppose to do something in life or is it just pure luck?
If i were in this boys situation, i would definitely feel like yes this is Gods way of blessing me. That there is a reason that i am suppose to be here because obviously God wanted me to. It would be hard and very emotional to go through this. Especially if the boy lost his family. So i would take it as a blessing more than anything else, how would you?

I agree with Joey. I'd feel very blessed, but at the same time, I would feel terrible. The fact that the kid was in the a horrific accident in which everybody died that was involved besides that one kid would make me question. It would be very emotional and I would probably ask, "Why did God choose me? Why did he let this happen?"
