'Each day awakens in me a deep sense of the giftedness of my life, of each moment as it comes, freshly minted, from the hand of an infinitely loving God. I have no right to it, no hold on it, no resources in myself that can guarantee the next newly given moment.' ~Author Unknown

We often mention that life is fragile and precious. This is true but we so often take life for granted when everything is going well. The current economic downturn has caused everyone to look at life again, to re think our values and priorities. We are adapting to living with less. We are making sure that we survive and adapt to lots of changes all around us. A big help in our re think of values and priorities, is to see each moment of every day as precious and sacred. It puts us in a much better position to adapt to the world we live in. Each moment is lent to us, to use and maximise. Equally we can also waste or ignore them. It is so much easier to use and maximise them, if we see them as given to us from the hand of an infinitely loving God.
