Blessings

So, I know I usually am rarely serious about anything. Whether it be blogging or on facebook, but today I feel like I need to share my feelings about just life I suppose. As I have gotten older I have had to deal with things that I never thought I would have to. One of those things being losing people that you love. Granted I have been extremely lucky and have not had to deal with it as much as others have. But my point is is that I have a respect for life today. I have realized how precious life is. I have realized how blessed I really am. I have never lost a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, a grandparent, or anyone in my family. I have lost a friend and I have seen others lose friends and loved ones. It is such a difficult thing and I don't understand how people survive without the gospel. My little brother lost a good friend this week and I have been hurting for him, and all the people mourning the loss of this sweet little girl. My heart goes out to you. I am so thankful for the things that the Lord has given me. I am more blessed then I realize sometimes. Sometimes all it takes to realize your blessings is riding Trax and seeing multiple people who are less fortunate than you. Or it takes the loss of a life in a tragedy to make you want to hug your family and hold onto them forever.
