Don't take life for granted

As we know from the Colorado Theatre shootings, life is fragile. In fact, life is so fragile that it could be taken from us any second. When disasters like this happen it really makes you wonder and put things into perspective. It's important to live life not only to the fullest, but to rethink that fight with your mother that you had last week or that horrible gossip that you were just talking about with your friends the other night. Although I will continue to make mistakes and have moments that I'm not proud of, I am really going to to try my hardest to either rethink my actions to avoid hurting someone I love, or to even rethink actions that could hurt myself in the long run. I am a lover of God, and I need to to thank him every day for the opportunities and experiences that I have been blessed with, and especially thank him for blessing me with the best gift of all, life. Another important aspect of life I take very seriously is forgiveness. I encourage you all to find the forgiveness in your hearts to mend relationships that have been ruined by past betrayals, wrongdoings, and angst because like I said before, life is fragile and I would imagine that you wouldn't want the heaviness of holding grudges to way you down. Be thankful for the life you have, and tell your loved ones how much you love them. Don't take life for granted.
