James 4:13-14 (CEB) Pay attention, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such-and-such a town. We will stay there a year, buying and selling, and making a profit.” You don’t really know about tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for only a short while before it vanishes.

Yesterday I woke to the message that someone close to me had
sustained an unexpected and serious injury.
I dressed in record time, threw the coffee Joe had made for me in two
travel mugs and then spent the entire day in the ER and then a doctor’s office
where he received outpatient sutures.
When I finally left him resting at home I returned to my home to the news
that beloved comedian and actor Robin Williams had passed away, apparently
taking his own life. Times like these
remind us that life is fragile, that we never know completely what the day
might bring and that we should love one another dearly while we have them with
us. It also reminds us that we must
think of the legacy we will one day leave behind and if we have the faith and relationship
with God that will assure our continuance of life even after these jars of clay
that house our souls are no longer.
Loving God, I pray you will continue to heal my friend,
comfort his family and the family of Robin Williams and all who have lost loved
ones suddenly in the past. May we look
to you for the example of love and grace.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Have a Blessed Day,
Paige
