a sad (but good) reminder.

tonight I got online and saw a friend had posted this link. I clicked on it and before I knew it, I am sitting in the middle of my floor crying for people I don't even know. I've just spent a wonderful evening with my family, all of whom are still living, and these people are grieving. I cannot even begin to imagine. it is a huge reality check. life is so fleeting and so many people are hurting and 99% of the time all I do is think about myself. it makes me so sad.
so even though I don't even know these people and even though they will never read this, I want to thank them for reminding me to love others (aka stop thinking about myself so much). but more importantly for reminding me that God is sovereign and that even when we are hurting and we don't understand He is the God of all comfort and He will give us peace.
