The pictures of these beautiful flowers was taken yesterday, Monday September 7th and today many of those blooms are gone. The beautiful pink one was closed and wilted this morning.
Much the same way it is with our lives. In God's realm of existence we are but a vapor. Just like these beautiful flowers were no more than a daily vapor.
We should never take our life for granted, we should live each day as if it is the last one on this beautiful earth. All too often we speak of being bored and yet there is many people that are not here today that would love to show us how to "un-bore" ourselves.
A very good friend lost his father this weekend. It was unexpected and that makes it tragic. Oh, the many things, hugs and kisses left unsaid. The many "I love you" embraces that will never happen. The beautiful granddaughter that will now grow up not knowing that grandfather. So much tragedy in the loss of a life.
God gave us this life to enjoy and to share with others and to spend time telling others that we love them. The rat race style of life that we live now; the dog eat dog style we live, well....death comes and then we feel the tragic loss.
We need to wake up, reach out and hug someone. Tell someone you love them. Offer to help another human being. DO SOMETHING that makes us worthy of this life we have been granted.
Our heart goes out to my friend and his family. YES, they were family and they are feeling this tragic loss today.
