It's late. God hasn't given me anything more profound than a brief thought. I've been waiting for something better. But apparently, this is what God wants someone to hear.
On Monday when I was driving my husband to work, there was a fatal car crash on the highway. We weren't rerouted because we weren't going that far down the road. But someone lost their life because someone else was in a hurry and put others at risk.
That evening, I had to turn around and go another way because there was a fatal motorcycle crash down the street from the pawn shop as I was heading to pick my husband up. Again, someone lost their life because of poor choices.
The next morning, our family was reeling with the news that a young man we've all grown to care for and love was fighting for his life. Unfortunately, he passed away Wednesday. His wasn't a matter of poor choices. He was extremely ill and trying to get home from work. His girlfriend thought she would be coming home to him. That moment never came.
So I ask you...are the lives of you or any of your loved ones worth hurrying for? Are you willing to risk someone's life because you're running late and trying to make up time? Think about how drastically your life could change if it was your loved one. There have been too many accidents lately. The roads haven't changed. People have. We're all in such a hurry. No one has time for anyone these days. It's sad, really.
Make the most of every moment you have. Tell your friends and family you love them. Don't tell me you'll do it tomorrow. What if tomorrow is too late?
If you're reading this, you matter to me. Don't let time slip by.
