Life is precious and so short.
I was grocery shopping with my mom today when we received a phone call from a friend and neighbour. Her sons best friend died last night in a fire. Not only is her son my neighbour but he is like a brother.
i see him hurt and i am hurting so much. Im fighting tears right now for him, and his friends family. I cant cry though because my neice and nephew are here and they wouldnt understand seeing their aunty crying. So i will fight it.
Death is such a curse. And yet it is the way life is. I am in prayer on and off since the phone call because my "brother" does not love God. He actually really resents him. And so, with this event, i believe it will be a turning point. Either he will be shown love by us who love God and will have his heart softened, or he will harden it even more.
Death can happen to us at any time. Live every day as though its your last. How many of us actually do that?

while i was reading ur blog, i had "this is life" playing in the background. and, if u think about it, that's what this whole thing is all about: life, death, everything in between, is about God.
"You are all over/You are all around/You are inside/This is life/This is life"
whether in life, or in death, there is no escaping the fact that everything revolves around our God.
hope 'n pray that your "brother" will come to know that God is all around as you minister to him in his time of need with God's help and guidance. Be Jesus to him in this hour.

katie, I'm so sorry. You are right, death is a curse and living life to the full. What could make it fuller than spending time with Him and gloryfying Him? Keep on doing that katie.
Praying for your bro, that he'd watch you shine and wonder where the light comes from.
Love, Helen
