Ok, so I have to share that yesterday was a sad day. We had a friend who passed away, he had cancer and was only 41 years old. He leaves behind is lovely wife and two beautiful children. You know I felt so touched because they had a few of his close friends share lovely memories of him and all they talked about was how he loved each day and was always so grateful. He was a man of God and he really did live his life to the fullest even though he was sick. You know, it really makes me think about how each day is truly a blessing and we are all so blessed. God has given us all so much and I think that we really need to stop and just see what God has granted us.
I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
Look around you and see all of your blessings and give thanks to God.
Our friend was only 41.
