I lost a friend last week. A friend on earth and a brother in the Kingdom. He was 14. His funeral was today. He died after complications from heart surgery. He's been walking down a path of heart problems and subsequent surgeries his whole life and this time was more than his body could handle. Sometimes I guess our bodies just won't do what we or others tell them to.
His seemingly, untimely death reminds me to live to matter!
Don't waste a minute! Don't miss a moment! Live significantly while you can! Hug your kids a little closer a little longer. Hold you wife's hand more often and let it take you where only lovers can go. Find time to do more than you normally would have with the people you are closest to and do a little more for those you may not know so well.
Wake up. Pay attention. Notice those around you. Invest in them. Do not go through life without living, loving, or longing to connect and better those around you. time is short. Leave your mark. Matter!
