Say "I love you"...

You are not promised tomorrow. I want my children, husband, parents, brothers, sister-in-law, and friends know that I love them. We all need to say I love you, I appreciate you, You are special to me more. We need to live like we love the people God blessed us with. Time here is short and we never know when it's going to be our time to go home to be with Jesus.

Tonight at church we learned that one of my former co-workers is going to lose his 26 year old daughter. She was in a car accident this morning, with her two young children and grandmother. They are fine, not a scratch. But she's not. From what people are saying, they are just keeping her alive until her husband can get home. He is in the military and stationed in Korea. I cannot imagine the shock, pain, questions, that the family has. I cannot imagine her two children, two years old and four months old, growing up not remembering their mommy.

Just yesterday a friend sent this verse to me:

Psalm 37:23-24

A man's steps are established by the Lord and He delights in his way.  Though he stumbles, he will not be overwhelmed because the Lord holds his hand.

I glossed over it when I first read it, but tonight, when my friend needed to say her verse to me because she was overwhelmed with the sad news, I stoped and really listened to God's word. What power! To know that God holds our hand, He's with us through everything. There is a Light in all the darkness and questions, we just have to take hold of His hand.
