precious

Life is precious. Our time on this earth is precious. Lately I have had some family members lose someone close to them very suddenly. The news yesterday of a sudden death has caused me to stop and think about so many things.   Obviously God needed that person with him, but it is hard to think of what will happen to that person's little girls here on earth.
It has caused me to reflect on my life. What would happen if I lost my husband suddenly? We have so many goals and dreams for our future and it would all be gone in an instant. What would I do by myself?  Would I mourn the fact that I did not have a child with my husband or would I be grateful to not have to worry about it?  Where would I live? What would I do?
I am grateful for the knowledge that God has a plan for us and that their is life after death.  And I am grateful for this precious time we have.
