Brian Cardall died about three weeks ago, and I have been thinking a lot about him lately. It's funny how it takes something huge to make me stop and realize that there are thing in my life that need to change. I have been taking so many things for granted and I need to stop it. I have been living for tomorrow instead of enjoying today. I have been surviving my life instead of relishing the moment. So I have started to squeeze my boys (all three of them) a little bit harder, and I have tried to be more patient with them. I have been thinking about the meaning of life and about the lessons we learn from our trials, I have tried to be more fervent in my prayers, and I am so grateful for my faith and the peace that comes with it.
I like this quote that Paul Cardall put on his blog...
Stop waiting for life to come tomorrow, begin living today. Don’t miss what’s now because you are looking for what’s next!

What a beautiful post. My gosh, make me cry! You are right though. I too take life for granted and there are many things in my life that need to change. I love the quote too. I might just have to copy you and post it on mine. It is a great quote from someone who truly needs to live for today because he doesn't know if he will have a tomorrow or how many more he will have. The Cardall family has had their trials that's for sure but I can tell through the TV interviews that they are a stronger family for them. I am sad for Brian. I know that is a huge loss for their family. It's such a blessing to know that Families are Forever.
Thanks, I needed that! :) I hope you guys are well.
