It is interesting how that life can remind you at times that you do not take it for granted. How often we fall into the trap of thinking that we have it all together and are doing well and then something happens that reminds us that we cannot take it for granted. This came to my attention the other day when I heard about someone that I knew. This person was doing well a month ago when I saw him last. He was a healthy person and life was treating him well. But then the news came to me that he was in hospital and was having an operation on his heart.
I must admit that it gave me a bit of a fright. After all I had seen this person a month ago and he looked very well. But now a month later the story was very different. There is a lesson that we can learn from this. And that being that we do not take life for granted. That we remember that life can be a very fragile thing. That we need to take care of our bodies and give ourselves the best chance possible of seeing every day that is given to us. And even more that we take a moment to appreciate the One who is the giver of that life.
So the lesson for this day is a simple one. Take care of yourselves out there and each other. And do not take life for granted. It is a very precious gift that must be treasured at all times. And remember that not only should we appreciate the gift but that we also appreciate the giver of that gift as well.
Something for us all to ponder at this time. Until next time may you each be kept safe in His care.
