Life

It seems like I go through every day just not recognizing how very LUCKY I am to be on this earth, because as I saw this week it can be taken away so VERY quickly.  Some of our very good friends Jeff and Rebecca Coats and Kelley and Trent Newell (Jeff and Kelley are brother and sister), had their father taken from them this week.  As I chatted with them, and witnessed how quickly things can go from "better" to "terrible" I realized how so often I rush through EVERYTHING in my life.  I feel like I am constantly looking to the next event, the next weekend, the next day even. And I rush through things always thinking of the future. I think we all do this, but one thing that I am going to actively try to change in my way of thinking is that life is precious and it can be taken at any time that God wants to.

Now Jeff and Kelley's dad hadn't been sick for long period of time, so literally, they were expecting him to come home after his surgery, but God had other plans for him.  What it made me realize that I need to love with my whole heart, never go to bed angry, mend troubled relationships, tell everyone that is important to me how much they mean often and not RUSH through life.  Because as I have seen, Life is precious and we should all be enjoying every moment that God let's us stay on this earth.
