Treasure

How many times a day do you tell the important people in your life, that you love them?  How often do you really cherish all the blessings in your life? 

My suggestion to you is to do this EVERY DAY!!!!

You never know when the moment you have right now is the only one your are going to have or maybe even your last.  Life is precious and you need to treasure it all the time.  Count your blessings. 

A young family I know has now entered into my prayers and please, if you can, pray for them too.  This week their family was divided with the loss of its head of the household, leaving a mom and her two year old daughter alone.  It's tragic and awful and almost unbearable to think about.  I am brought to tears with the thought of what's to come for this widow and her fatherless child.  What do you even say to someone who has lost their spouse? Their significant other.  Their best friend.  There are no words.

Earlier this year, due to the economic situation, I had to endure a 6 month stint without my husband.  My short loss does not even compare to what this woman is forced to deal with but I can definitely empathize.

So please pray for this woman daily and remember her when you forget how good you have it.  Cherish your daily blessings and think about the things that God has given you.
