Though it is very difficult to accept, everything is a gift from God. This includes our families, our friends, and even our favorite fishing holes. We should not be discouraged by the amount of time that has been taken away by losing a loved one, but be grateful for the time that we had to share with them.

Two thoughts…..Be thankful for the amount of time that we get to take pleasure in God’s gifts and be more thankful that there is a greater life to share after this one.
