What is this life if full of care?

A good friend has lost her mother today and I am very sad about it because of how it happened. Very sad. What is this life if full of care, we have not time to stand and stare? In these days of rushing about and gadgets and amassing personal fortunes and the like, it is easy to become so obsessed with other things that family and friends are forgotten or put aside.

The amazing thing is that " things " can always be replaced but what about people? Can one replace a friend or a brother?
No, never because we are so so individual and unique and bring different flavours to other people's lives.
It is a sad day but Jesus is still Lord.
