It read:
There is only one minute in which you are alive, this minute, here and now.
The only way to live is by accepting each minute as a unrepeatable miracle.
Which is exactly what it is- a miracle and unrepeatable.
-Storm Jameson
WOW... life really is a miracle. I certainly have a different outlook on the miracle of life now since going through this journey of life and death with Jeremy. I notice things that I never noticed before.
My challenge to you today is simple... make the most of the minutes you have today with those that are near and to you. Take pictures or jot down a few lines in a journal. Do your best capture the memories, even the simplest ones, that have the potential of unfolding today. The minutes are miracles, each and every one. They are unrepeatable, we can't get them back.
Give thanks and praise God for the miracle of your life and for the lives of those you love the most. Perhaps even consider giving life to someone who is in desperate need of a miracle in the form of a blood donation. Find out more about organ donation... It will save a life.
Life is a gift and a blessing. Enjoy it...Cherish it...Give thanks and praise to the one who created this life for you.

That's a beautiful card! Very true! Not too long ago we sang a song in church called "Breathing the Breath" that talked about something like that. I don't know if I have shared it with you or if you have already seen it on my blog but here are the lyrics.
Breathing the Breath
Matt Redmond
We have nothing to give
That didn't first
come from Your hands
We have nothing to offer You
Which You did not provide
Every good, perfect gift
comes from
Your kind and gracious heart
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours
Lord, we're breathing the breath
That You gave us to breathe
To worship You, to worship You
And we're singing these songs
With the very same breath
To worship You, to worship You
Who has given to You
That it should be paid
back to him?
Who has given to You
As if You needed anything?
From You, and to You, and through You
Come all things, O Lord
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours
We are breathing the breath
That You gave us to breathe
I love that the song helps remind us that everything comes from the Lord's hand...right down the the very breath we breathe. It made me realize that sometimes we forget to thank Him for the simple things! We get so caught up in praying for the hard times that we forget to rejoice and praise Him in the good or even just the normal everyday lives He gives us!
Thank you for reminding us to live each moment at a time. Life gets so busy that all too often I am rushing from one thing to the next forgetting to stop and just breathe in the moment.
Praying for you this week especially!
In Him,
Julie
