The days go by and even though I try to live each moment to the fullest, still they go by too quickly. I have learned to never take anything or anyone for granted; to appreciate and give thanks for everything, because everything and everyone in my life is a blessing. For they are all from God. To love, to learn from, to enjoy. To help, to serve, but mostly to love. Love is the mainstay of existence, whether one realizes it or not. There would be no life without love, for our Creator is love and He created everything out of love. He wants us to love as He does; unconditionally. I heard someone say that Easter is the first day of a new year. A new year in our risen Lord. And I know that each day is a new day, a gift of life to be celebrated and lived with gratitude, because, yes, we are blessed to be alive. PTL
