... when you're not strong, i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry on. For, it won't be long, till i'm gonna need, somebody to lean on.
Tonight there was a shooting at my local county fair... I didn't witness it, and no one i know got shot, however four people did. Four people that are friends to someone, the sons of someone, possibly the brothers to many...
I guess it just made me realize how important friendships are. How much friends will sacrifice for one an other.
In the aftermath of all of tonight's events I realized I would take that bullet for any one of my friends. I am a true believer that yes, everyone needs a solid relationship with God, but we also need solid relationships with friends as well. Friends that will help you get up on your feet and point you in the right direction towards God when you're down and at your low. Friends to lean on. Whether that's a shoulder to cry on, or someone to call in the middle of the night, it doesn't matter, just someone to be there with you when you're in need.
Tonight I'm praying for not only the victims of the shooting, but also their loved ones. Ones that might call them and not know why they aren't answering... Ones that might wake up and not realize their brother is in the hospital, or even worse, not ever coming home. Please pray too. Not only for the ones who got hurt tonight, but the ones who may hurt tomorrow. The ones who don't understand why someone they love is injured. Please pray that those four people have solid relationships with God, or that in this innident they seek God, and praise him for still being here.
You never know what will happen tonight, or even tomorrow, so no matter what make sure the people you love know you love them. Tomorrow may never come. Don't go to bed angry or wake up grumpy, because you're still alive, and someone out there does love you, whether it seems like it or not.
