Somewhat Sad Sunday

I got the news today that an old friend had passed away. More precisely He was the husband of a friend of mine. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. It just reinforces what we all ready know... that life is just a moment in time. And that we should live like we earnestly mean it. Tomorrow, will be the wake and viewing, so just join me in prayer for all those involved. My heart aches or all the tragedy of Haiti and for all the innocent children. To say this week has been rough is an understatement. But, I still give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and grace. He is abundantly good and knows all. I have a praise .. my daughter got to witness to someone this week and she is growing in her spiritual walk ,she has become such an encouragement to me. I thank God for her. She starts college this week so I will see less of her(sigh). Well. I leave you with this thought and suggestion to love your loved ones. Hug them. Tell them. and forgive them. This after all is what the Lord commands.
