My Prayers Go Out To Them Tonight

It's sad to think that every day tons of people take their own lives. I've known people who have and wondered if there was any way it could have been prevented. And of course there is always a way. No matter what you may be going through, remember all the good things in your life. Remember your family and friends and all the other people who would miss you. Even if you are feeling alone, remember that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know what you are going through and will always love you unconditionally. They can help you through anything. Even if it feels like you just can't go on anymore, keep pushing. I've felt like giving up at times, but then I remember other people have it worse. I am blessed in so many ways and I want to help those around me. I pray that I may be a better person every day. I hope I can show those around me my love for them. I hope I can remember my blessings forever. There is no better feeling than being a good friend to someone. Nothing beats that-not even riches or fame. I would rather people remember me for being nice than being wealthy. For being their friend instead of wearing cute clothes all the time. For smiling at them in the halls instead of having good hair or perfect skin. Those are the things worth living for. And others may judge me for not having good style and not always looking cute. But I would rather make an impact in someone's life. Bring others up, not down. Be happy for others. Make them want to be your friend because you are trustworthy, not because "you know how to party". Because in the end, none of that will matter. My prayers go out to that family tonight. God loves your son and will help him through this.
