Food for Thought

After the loss of our friends child on Tuesday, I have really been thinking and pondering my own life.  (It seems like this is always the case when we are faced with life's challenges).  

I was so inspired and strengthened, spiritually, after leaving Joshua's funeral (the little boy that was hit by the school bus on Tuesday) that I wanted to share my thoughts.  Although the week has been filled with much sorrow and sadness, I just couldn't get over the faith and strength that his parents and family have.  Joshua's family is exceptional.  What a beautiful family that really understands the plan that our Father in Heaven has for us.      

I have to wonder if I was given that difficult life challenge if I would have the same amount of Faith and Strength as they did.  I know at times I get so busy doing the things that have to be done every day that I get complacent in the things that really matter.  

I just want to tell every one to hug your kids a little tighter tonight, be a little more attentive when they are telling you how your day is going, and kiss them a few more times during the day (if that's possible)!  They are our greatest treasures!   My heart goes out the the Ringer's and I thank them for their unwavering faith and strength!  God Bless.
