LIFE IS PRECIOUS . . .
every moment should be cherished.
every breath should be breathed with thankfulness.
every loved one hugged tightly.
every moment a choice should be made . . . to choose
love
peace
calm
strength
courage
joy
gratefulness
kindness
in the past week there have been several times when i have had to pause and realize the brevity of life.
a young girl from our community died on Easter day from an atv accident. she was 13 years old and went to school with my daughter. i didn't know her personally but people who know her said she had a spunk and a love for life.
yesterday, tornadoes ripped through arkansas and mississippi and alabama.
lives have been lost.
Jesus has called some people home.
i pray in these moments when we see how quickly life can be taken, that we remember what is really important. that the pressures of the every day lives we lead will not overshadow the precious fragility we can enjoy each and every day.
I'm sorry to hear of the poor girls accident. 13 is far to young to go! My thoughts are with her family and friends...
