LIFE IS FRAGILE

Sometimes, when you least expect it, you receive a reminder about how fragile life is. We make our to-do lists, keep up with the grocery shopping, get kids transported to where they need to be, and expect to sit down to family dinner each night. Except for those times when that doesn't happen...

An unexpected visitor, phone call, or tragedy rumples the plans and sets the world spinning. As you try to gain your footing and remember why you stress out when the "to-do"s don't get done, you remember that life is fragile. It is not a list...it's people that matter!

Next time, stop and consider...is this "interruption" simply intefering with the completion of a list, or does your to-do list interfere with LIFE (loving and serving others first)? The Key to JOY is simple: JESUS first, OTHERS second, and YOURSELF last. Now...we just need to put it into practice, one choice at a time!
