Head Hurt?

So, today I woke up like any other day and was getting ready for work.  Thinking about how I could make myself, since I am the whole company, more efficient.  So I was sitting down on the coach and my wife had just left, the side of my head starting hurting.  Which this reminds me of a joke that my dad always says when I tell him my head is hurting, "Is your face hurting, hurts me to look at it"  loving dad huh?  Anyway, back to today.  My head starting hurting and when I was about to get up it just felt like someone had hit me in the side of the head with a hammer, and yes I know how that feels.  Well this was a migraine coming on, I took some medicine and feel asleep for a few hours and woke up in the early afternoon.  Needless to say I was not very efficient today at work.

This brought me to a thought tonight of how frail life is and how our "plans" sometimes do not work out.  A good friend of mine, which most of you will know who is reading this, a few weeks back was getting ready for his twins to be born.  Going through all of the motions; painting the nursery, going to birthing classes, going to baby showers, all of that stuff.  Then after a routine exam the doctor tells him that his wife is going into labor at like 27 weeks.  Well this story has a good ending and the babies and parents are doing well.  I just have realized that our plans are never our plans.  We even should stop asking people what their plans are and start asking them, "what do you hope to do in the near future?"  Cause you never know what may happen.  Now some people may look at this blog and think that I am depressed and I have not hope in life.  In fact it is the exact opposite, I have great hope in life and I am not depressed.  I have hope that what ever happens it is my Lord's will for my life.  I have the comfort knowing that I have a great family, awesome friends and the most beautiful, caring, funny, and supportive wife anyone could ask for.

So just remember that life is frail but fulfilling if you let it be, that plans are just a suggestion what you hope to do, and most of all if you find love in something or someone make sure you cherish it cause it could be gone in a second.
