I know that sometimes difficult things happen in threes. Unfortunately, some of those things happened this week. They did not directly affect me, but they affected my friends, which affected me.
First one of my friends' mother passed away. It was long expected, but still sad. Then on Friday, a friend came home from work and found her husband collapsed on the floor. He had had a massive heart attack and passed away. Then Saturday a friend lost her mother to an aortic tear. She had talked to her at 10:00 and everything seemed fine. At 11:00 she was going to the hospital, and she passed away at 9:20 Saturday night.
All of these people are friends from church, which meant that our new priest was ministering to them. She had a busy, busy weekend. Thank God she is here. I could not have handled this if we did not have a priest on board.
Two of the three of these events reminded us to live every day to the fullest as we never know when things may change. Tell your loved ones you love them. Every day. And thank God for the blessings we have been given. He is indeed a great God.
