life is a gift

I'm glad I'm alive. I realize I was so close to death.

Honestly, it helps me to appriciate life more. People try to block the very thought of dieing from their minds as much as possible. I realize though life is more than big houses and shiny cars, money and material posessions.

In today's society life is cheapened. Death is glorified.

So many people don't understand how fragile this life really is. Every breath is a gift from God. Every time your heart beats is a gift as well.

What does death teach us? It teaches us that life shouldn't be taken for granted despite everyone, including myself, forgets that at times. We go from here to there and get caught up in so much. It shows us this life is so delicate, so precious.

I know, despite everything that is thrown at me, that Jesus has a plan for me.

I so want to see Him. But, I realize that before I do that, I have to do whatever He wants me to do on this earth.
