Life Is A Miracle

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

- Albert Einstein

Cause for Celebration

"More than marking a loss today, we chose instead to celebrate life. For no matter how brief, life is a cherished gift.... When a child enters your life, it is a cause for celebration, a time to rejoice that should not be measured by the passage of time but rather by the goodness of God’s sovereignty."

- An excerpt from Life is an Memorial by Jay Cookingham on his blog Soulfari

What We Give

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

- Winston Churchill

End Of The Road... Or The Beginning?

"I think of life and it’s mysteries. We are rarely given a sign to denote the end of a road, but I think it may be on purpose.  So many times the end of a road for a dream or relationship or challenge was simply the beginning of something else."

- An excerpt from A Few Words: The End is Near by Jason on his blog Connecting to Impact

Fruit Is Seasonal

"Interesting, joy and all those other lofty characteristics.

Jesus compares them to fruit.

Fruit is seasonal. Fruit ripens. Fruit can miss a season if it frosts at just the right time in the growth process. Fruit flowers then buds then grows and ripens. And it only does this once or twice a year. Maybe that was Jesus’ point.

Maybe He knew how delicious the fruit of joy is, but maybe He also knew how difficult and fleeting it could be for us sorry bunch of humans."
