Most of us have heard of the cowardly act of a 24 year old young man in a crowded Movie Theater in Aurora, Colorado. His senseless act of terrorism cost the lives of 12 innocent people! One of these victims, incredibly survived a mass attack just months ago in Toronto. Her name was Iessica Redfield. After surviving that first shoot out in a busy shopping mall Jessica a sports writer blogged about the aftermath of her experience. Here's what she wrote:
"I was shown how fragile life was," Redfield wrote. "I saw the terror on bystanders' faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don't know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath. … I say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So often I have found myself taking it for granted.
"Every hug from a family member. Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings. Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly understand how blessed I am for each second I am given."
Folks, let's take Jessica's testimony to heart and cherish life enough to stop the insanity of killing ourselves one puff at a time! Cherish every second of every day and if you haven't quit, yet - well, TODAY is a GREAT DAY to Quit for LIFE! If you have Quit, PROTECT YOUR QUIT as if your LIFE depends on it ....because IT DOES! LOVE LIFE - especially your own!
