My cousin's husband was killed in a car accident on Wednesday night. He was only 29 years old. My heart is broken for my cousin and her two young boys as they grieve this sudden tragic loss. Please pray for them. The visitation is tonight and the funeral is tomorrow.
This accident has really shaken me and made me realize {once again} how fragile life is. It could have been my husband. Oh how my heart hurts when I think of that. My heart's deepest desire is that my husband and my family know how very much I love them.
I want to live each day as if it was my {or their} last.
I want to have no unforgiveness harbored in my heart.
No words I wish I'd said.
No deeds I wish I'd done.
No unresolved problems.
No regrets.
Just abundant love.

Amen! So sorry for your cousin's loss.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a tragic loss...Your cousin, her boys, and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers! We had a death in the family recently as well and it really knocked things into persepctive for me. I always try to live each day as if it's my last, but sometimes it takes reminders of how fragile life really is to get me back on track...I will hug my husband a little tighter, and a little longer, this evening...
