THE BEAUTY OF EACH PRECIOUS MOMENT

Some times in a week like this has been, it's hard to be positive.  My kids fight, I loose my temper, no one listens, my house is never clean, my "to do" list gets longer instead of shorter...you get the idea.  Life is a messy and complicated business.  People are flawed and week.  Tragedy happens.   Lately it seems to be happening a lot.
In the past month: a little boy from church fell from a second story window and landed on his forehead.  He narrowly survived.  My brother's family barely escaped their burning home and stood in the snow watching everything they owned destroyed.  This morning, funeral services are being held for my sister in law's brother and his precious two year old son- a wonderful woman lost her husband and only child on her birthday of all days.

 Yes, it's hard to be positive until you read what I read.  Once in a while you hear something or read something that changes who you are.  You know you will never forget how you feel in that moment.  You pray that it will give you the wisdom and strength to be better, to do better with each blessed day you are given.  That is how I felt when I read this.  

Life is miraculous and short and precious and our challenge is to see the beauty of each precious moment.
