How quickly things can change

I just realized that my last post was just a couple of hours before we received a phone call from one of our very good friends who's husband was at the hospital and passed away around 10:30 that very night. It has been a very hard week and I would like to ask all of our out of town friends and family to be praying for this wonderful family. Her name is Karen and you will see a link to her blog below. She has two precious little boys, Phillip (7) and Evan (5). Brad was only 33 years old so this was very unexpected. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers over the next several weeks. As we were sitting at the hospital that night one of the girls mentioned how the things she was so concerned about earlier that evening, now were so unimportant. This has been a reminder to a lot of us to appreciate our husbands and children because we never know how quickly they might be taken away from us. I hope to be a little more appreciative and not take what God has given me for granted.
