Life is precious

Yesterday we found out that a friend of ours, Kasi Webb, died suddenly. We are not 100% sure of the reason, but think it has to do with her heart, possibly a heart attack. She was young and has 3 young children, the oldest will be entering Middle School in the fall and the youngest will be entering Kindergarten in the fall. My heart is breaking for her husband, Travis, and those babies.
As I think about this situation I understand and know that each day is a gift from God. God has placed each one of us on this earth for His purpose and when we fulfill His purpose He will take us home to be with him, Kasi had fulfilled her purpose and He was ready for her to come home. The ones that are suffering are the ones that are still left here on earth.

During this time I am reminded of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and
a time to die;
a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up
that which is planted;

A time to kill, and
a time to heal;
a time to break down, and
a time to build up;

A time to weep, and
a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and
a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and
a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and
a time to lose;
a time to keep, and
a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and
a time to sow;
a time to keep silence, and
a time to speak;

A time to love, and
a time to hate;
a time of war; and
a time of peace.

Dear Lord,
Please be with the Webb family. I know that they are feeling so many emotions right now, I pray that your loving arms will wrap them and that they will feel you right now. Kasi was a fun-loving person and she loved you! I know that she is smiling in heaven right now, however, I know her family down here is saddend and scared..please comfort them! We do not know why this has happend, but you do...you are in total control! When they ask questions, Lord, please answer those questions for them. My heart goes out to Travis, Natalie, Jackson and Delaney, please be with them during this time.
In Jesus' Name I pray
Amen
