Life is Precious

Hello!
I know it has been a while, but let me say, life is precious. None of us know how many days we have left. None of us know how many days our family members have left. When is the last time you said "I love you" to someone close to you? When is the last time you said it to your mom, dad, brother, sister, best friend, spouse, or child?

The last time you got into an argument with someone close to you, was it over something important or something petty? Did you apologize or are you still holding a childish grudge "because you didn't start it, so you should not have to apologize first" ?

My mom had unexpected triple bypass surgery day before yesterday. She went to the doctor with what she thought was an anxiety attack. Turns out, she had a mild heart attack. In less than three days, she was having open heart surgery. Talk about clearing your mind!! Suddenly, the important things seem very important and the small things seem very petty.

Think about the last thing you said to anyone. Is that the last thing you would want them to hear from you? Let's stop being petty, and grow up. Let's see life for what it is...a gift from God. Now, go think about that.....
