You just never know

As of late, there has been some sad news around us. This world is a tough place, and so many things happen that we will never understand.

Recently, our financial advisor was diagnosed with brain cancer, and a girl that went to school with Jeff had her husband suddenly pass away of a heart attack at age 29. She is left with 2 daughters, ages 3 and 3 months. Both are heartbreaking situations, and I just don't know how you cope with these things. My only answer is that you need to have faith and hope. Faith in a higher power, and hope that all things will end up okay.

It's situations like this that really make me stop, and think about just how fragile life is. You never know when your last breath will happen, or the last time you will talk to a loved one. I am fortunate to have not experienced this to a great degree in my life yet, but I know there will be a time when it will. It's incredibly difficult to live in every moment, but if we don't, how will we ever appreciate what we have? I also think if you don't have faith in God or whoever it is that you pray to, you will have the hardest of hardest times.

As I heard recently, "Life is just a speck of sand in the desert, compared to what eternity is." Hold your loved ones tight today, and appreciate their lives.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

>"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
