I heard a horrible story the other day. A family from my dance studio was in a terrible accident. The father passed away, the four children are all seriously injured, and the mother, who was also injured but not as badly, has to look out for all her children while facing the fact that her husband is gone. My heart broke when I heard the news. I'm just so glad they have the assurance that their father and husband is in Heaven with Jesus. It really puts things in perspective. Life is so so short. We can not determine when our lives will end... whether we'll die young or live to be a hundred. Only God knows the number of our days. So how can we waste our lives on the meaningless things and materials in life, when what really matters is our family, our friends, the people around us? And most of all, God. The saying, "You never know what you've got until it's gone" is most definitely true. So take time to appreciate the people in your life who care about you. Make space in your life to show them you appreciate them. And ultimately, keep leaning on the One who created you and will one day take you to be with Him. Life is short. Hold on to what truly matters.
