Life: Our Gift

Did you wake up this morning with the realization that January had passed and you had entered a new month?  Were those thoughts accompanied by a feeling of relief or anxiousness?   If so, These thoughts put life in a category of a race that must be won, rather than a life that must be lived. 

In this life we have seasons that prepare us  for what lies ahead.  For example winter prepares us for the cold, i.e., take out your winter coat.  In spring we all heard of the infamous phrase, “ spring cleaning”.   In this life we also have clocks.  Clocks help us measure time so that we can have balance in our activities. Yet because of the many activities we humans have acquired we often abuse this invention.

Giving perspective to this gift we have called life is often a challenge.  If we could grasp that this is a gift,  than possibly we can could  gain more meaning and purpose in our everyday life.
