Precious life


We often think that our little ones are so fragile and our husband can conquer the world. So we go through life worried about the little ones, watching every step they take - "don't go in the road, don't touch that hot stove". In the mean time, these big strong men of ours get overlooked at times. Of course we do need to watch over and take care of these little guys, but I often have to remind myself to make sure all of the big guys needs are met also.

Anything can happen in life. In just a second our lives can come tumbling down around us. So savor every single second and make sure that the ones that we love know how much we love them. God has loaned us these little ones and has gifted us with these irreplaceable men in our lives. He's hand picked these guys for us no matter how mismatched we seem to be =).

If you've not heard this wonderful song, you just have to!! It's all about perspective. A guy that I went to school with (from the time I was little) was killed in a freak bobcat accident this week. I can't even imagine what his family is going through right now. This song has been on my mind a lot this week and it just makes you stop and think about how fragile and how precious this life is. Last day of my life - Phil Vassar

For those local and who also went to school with John- here's funeral info and where you can donate money to the family -
