“Life is short so make the best of it…”

A 15 year boy named Austin was found dead in a harbor in Mexico this morning around 8:15. He was from Lexington, SC and went to Lexington Presbyterian Church. He was knocked by a large wave and then sucked under from undertow. I can only imagine the feeling his family is dealing with right now. The rush they once had of the search is now over and they have seen there son who is now with the Lord. It’s a shame. A child shouldn’t be buried before their parents. I can’t imagine what I would do if that was a loved one of mine. 15 and now deceased, never to find love, never to have a child, never to breath another last breath again. Isn’t life precious? Yet we feel as if we are invincible and we scream and curse at the person who is driving like a “fool” in front of us. Don’t they have loved ones? Shouldn’t we love them. Don’t we want to be loved? Do we take the love that we give and receive for granted? I think we are all victims of patterns? Do we just adjust and forget what matters. I believe we do. We should embrace the imperfect love that we can give each other. We should also embrace the perfect love that is around us always.
