Today I received a call from a friend who is an EMT Firefighter. He was at the hospital and was calling to ask me if I would pick him up and take him back to his station. Confused I said sure, and as he is telling me more I find out his first fatality accrued in his arms today. I felt special that he called me for the support he needed but I also had no idea what to say or do except to listen. As he told me about everything above and beyond the accident an overwhelming feeling happened. We got stuck trying to go back to the station because they were clearing the scene but during that time I felt God gave us that extra time together for my friend to really let go of his emotions and just lay it all out. I tried to give him the best support I could but I've never been in that situation before so I just told him God has a plan and held his hand as he told me the rest. The thing that stuck me the most that he said to me as he was holding my hand he had two fingers on my wrist and gently just says "it feels good to feel your pulse". Those words hit me so hard and that's when I realized my friend just spent 45 minuets trying his best to save a man's life and couldn't. And that's where I started to pray, and I continue to pray. Up until that point my friend was just telling me about a problem he had today, but once those words came out of his mouth I felt his pain of not being able to do anything as this man died.
Sometimes there will be nothing to we can do when it come to God's plan. And every time he does something we don't want to happen- it will be hard to accept. Despite the incident, I felt today was a good lesson for me and everyone else to learn. Life is short. And God will take you away form everyone, and when he does we have to realize it is all part of his plan for us.
I wont give all the details, but hearing my friend explain everything he tried to do to save this man's life kept me thanking God that I was alive at that moment.
The accident the man was involved in was spontaneous and happened in an instant and we most of the time never know when God is going to take us. I makes me so incredibly thankful for not only life, but everything I have in it. I am such a blessed individual and sometimes I might take that for granted but today I just wanna thanks God for allowing me to be here and giving air to my lungs. I might not know when life will be taken from me, or what God's plan for me is- but I do know that I am very blessed, lucky, loved, and thankful for my life and everyone in it.
God Bless everyone tonight, and tell someone you care about that you love them- because you never know when the last time you will see them will be. Enjoy every minute we have on earth and laugh, love, hug, kiss, dance, play in the mud, be happy, and thank God.
I love you all
XOXO
