Count your blessings

I know this is a tough period for all of you...

I know this is a time that everyone wants to give up...

BUT... just felt like sharing something...

Was working today at a pharmacy... and a lady came in with her husband... The lady had terminal cancer, was dying... Husband was with her all the while, holding her hand... the way teenagers hold hands when they first fall in love... like U know... the 10 fingers intertwined with each other... And he was just guiding her around the shop... holding her hand tightly... for fear that one day she'll leave him...

And that day will come soon...

U know... this just brought tears into my life... How ironic that God always uses situations like this to teach us something... How ironic that when we have tomorrow to live, we rarely treasure our tomorrows... Because we know that there will be a next tomorrow after tomorrow... BUT these people don't... They don't know when they are going to die... They don't know if tomorrow will come for them...

How ironic that we don't treasure the people around us... even when they're just supporting, being there for us and with us... How ironic that it takes a disaster for us to realise how much we love the people around us...

How ironic that during exam times, all we want to do is give up, when these people are struggling on, NOT giving up till their last breathe because they want to spend time with their families...

How ironic that we break the heart of people around us... When we could have treasured them more...

Friends... Exams are near... BUT it's only a minor part in life... How ironic that we view exams as a life/death changing situation... Enjoy your studies... :)

Meanwhile I'll go mug for my tutor visit...

Lots of love :)
