Tell 'em you love 'em!

Okay, we've all heard how things can change in a moments notice. Things that are one way now, might be different tomorrow. That has been pushed to the forefront of my thoughts since last weekend.

A long-time friend was involved in a farm accident last Friday and in the end he lost his right arm. He was working on the hay baler on the farm, doing what I'm sure our guys have done a thousand times and this time it went wrong. It pulled his arm in and he thought he was going completely into the baler. Needless to say, at this point he's happy to be alive and we're all happy he's alive, but it shows us that thing can always change.

He is a 38 year old man with a wife and two kids. He grew up on a farm, showed cattle all his life and this one moment has changed his life forever. It brought me to the thoughts and fears of what can happen to my family and my husband. How many times has he done something he knows in his heart might not be safe, but hey, I've always done this? It just made me realize how we need to pray for our loved ones safety, even if what they are doing is something they've always done.

And always, always make sure they know how you feel about them. If God were to come back to Earth this hour, have you told your family that you love them? Are you sure they know God and will meet you in heaven? It's a tough family discussion to bring up sometimes, but we have to do it from time to time to make sure our family and friends are taken care of! Remember, things can change in an instant.... how you come through that change depends on your attitude and your faith.

Please keep my friend and his family in your prayers as they move forward with the change that has come to them. Things are going to be different for them, but with our love, support and prayers, they'll make the best of this situation.

God Bless!
