living to the fullest.

I've had many people near me lose loved ones this week. A family at my church lost a Daddy and a Husband suddenly in a rare accident. My friend lost her Father this week, expectedly, but still just as much heartache and grief. It sort of puts things in perspective...

Am I living my life to the fullest? Am I living with purpose? Am I treating others around me with the respect they deserve? There are so many thoughts that have come to my mind about life and just how precious it is. It can be gone in the blink of an eye....am I taking it for granted?

My heart is heavy thinking about these families struggling with such losses, the heartache they are feeling.....I just cannot imagine.

Life is short. Let's live it up. Live with purpose. Laugh frequently. Smile often. Love as much as we breathe.

My prayers are with these families.
