Life is short....

We always say life is short so live it to the fullest! I have been troubled by how often we let things pass by, we procrastinate, we take people for granted and feign friendships! I was deeply saddened by the Kenya Airways flight 570 that crashed in Douala, just reminds us about the brevity of life! I was thinking that most of us take it for granted each day we open our eyes, go about our daily business and at the end, go back home to look forward(or not) to tomorrow! Never once counting how lucky we are to be alive, healthy, happy, and despite what may appear like insurmountable problems, we are still here! We are still alive and that means, our purpose is not yet accomplished, our journey must go on!

I weep with the families and pray for God's comfort and grace in this time of great grief! I challenge you to pray for clarity in our purpose and take every opportunity God grants us to let those we love know how we feel, to have a love walk so that we can reach the lost, to use our gifts and talents to effect great change in our communities and at the end of it, hear Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" The world needs us, take your charge and run with the horses!!!

Your thoughts on the KQ crash and how it relates to our lives is a wake up call.

Thank you for helping me to refocus on what matters in life.
