2.) Appreciate who God has placed in your life, whether for a season or a lifetime, God has used them to touch your life for a reason so be THANKFUL!
Why wait for someone to die or leave to express how much you care or how valuable you think they are? How many personal and/or professional relationships could have been salvaged if gratefulness was expressed? It is never too hard to say 'thank you' or 'I love you'... You know you have something good, so be THANKFUL, don't wait until it is too late...
