Personal Meditations
As a little girl I only lost one person I loved, my great-grandmother, and yet I never realized how short life was. As I enter into my mid-twenties I see death and sickness all around me. Parents have cancer, heart attack, seizures and yet the sickness and death do not stop at the old. Their are children with bone cancer and leukemia. I was in two nearly fatal car accidents within a year of each other. It is amazing to think of how many things I have done in my life that God has saved me from. I always thought that life was such a happy wonderful thing to live, how niave youth is. Now that I am older I realize that life has happy moments and a person needs to cherish those moments in the times of sadness. Because those happy moments and God are the only thing that will get you through the sadness of this world. The brevity of life is something to wonder at.

I think this would be more interesting and effective if you were more specific.
For example, you might start out with a scene-setting lead describing one of those near-fatal car accidents, then explain how that affected you and perhaps changed your perspective.
