it’s not porcelain, or the rarest diamond, that’s the most fragile.
no, it’s not even glass, or hundred year old china.
it’s life.
too often, I feel, we are reminded of the fragility of life, and how precious it truly is. just today, the tragic crash in the Potomac River, and the loss of a music leader in the Nashville community. it’s days like today, and these moments, that punch you right in the gut, cause your eyes to become misty, even if you never came across the lost souls.
you too easily could put yourself in the place of their families, and friends, and feel an ounce of their heartache and grief. I know for me, I can’t allow myself to feel that.
I can’t ‘only imagine.’ because that imagine is far greater a pain than I hope I ever have to feel.
so for all those today, yesterday, and tomorrow - remember what the most important thing in this entire world is.
it’s life.
take care of one another, and be a shoulder (if you can) for someone that may need it.
