Don't Take Me For Granted

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. I hope you didn't take the moments you shared with family and friends for grated. I know I didn't. It's that moment when you get a phone call, none of us want to get, that your heart drops. Wednesday morning one of my best friends called me at work and said her cousin (who is another best friend) is in the hospital, in critical condition. WOW. My husband and I had went back home hoping to see all our friends & family and all would be great. Well, you never should assume. In that moment when I got the call, I was thankful to be able to go to the hospital and see him. He was in bad shape and all we could do was PRAY. My husband said a prayer with him and his parents by his bed. It was touching. He is still in critical condition. He is on a ventilator and improving (little at a time). However, it will be a long road ahead. This whole experience reminds me that Life is Short. Never take God for granted. He is the ultimate power. He gives us so much, everyday. Instead of worrying about what is to come, thank him for the present.

During this terrible time, friends and family have immediately started coming together. It is powerful to witness situations like this and be apart of it. God hears our prayers and loves us. When they weren't sure he would make it, prayers from all over started pouring out for him. He has been in the hospital for almost a week, but I have FAITH (along with everyone else) that God will heal and use him as a testament. When someone touches your life, you need to let them know. Don't take one day or one second for granted. We don't know Gods plan, but rest assure he has one and it is a perfect one. Trust in him.
