I just don't feel life the way I did before my accident. I feel it deeper and know it's more than what meets the eye?

Most of us take life for granted until tragedy happens to us and we escape death or tragic experiences. The very fact that we have life is a reason for gratitude.
Lets hope you do not take this experience for granted but get to know the one who created you "Jehovah". (James 4-8). Getting to know him is to show your true appreciation. Learn the truth about him by having a personal bible study and get to know the true God of the bible. Learn to give heartfelt prayer by learning what God requires of you.

Many of us take life for granted when we are young, not unless we are sick or something like an accident draws our attention to our awareness of life, will we perhaps stop and think about life from a different standpoint.
During 911 when so many people lost their lives, a major awareness caused many to rethink their lives, where it was going and what the future would bring.
One person I know of came in contact with a book, entitled The Bible—God’s Word or Man’s? She said, "when I browsed through its pages, I was impressed. It clearly showed that Bible principles can improve a person’s life." The book answered questions about, the meaning of life, why are here, and God's purpose in our life just by directing the reader to the Bible.
She then started studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses, who further assist her in her quest for more knowledge.
As she stated, "Through my Bible study, I learned that our Creator truly cares for us and that he is not responsible for the sickness and pain that afflict many of us. (1 Peter 5:7) I learned that it was Satan who introduced sin and death into this world and that Jehovah will soon undo the works of Satan by removing this old system and replacing it with a perfect new world. (Hebrews 2:14) Under paradisaic conditions, God-fearing people will be restored to human perfection. Then, no one will say, “I am sick.”—Isaiah 33:24.
Not everyone will comes to the same conclusions as this person or others like her, however, putting things in perspective and investigating for ourselves will allow a person the chance to see if the Bible can answer questions for them and give them a solid hope for the future.
