The Love of Life

Life.

The very concept of the word conjures up many images for people. Most people think of life as they know it. For me, that would be, up at 6, off to work by 6:45...ish, get to work at 7:30, slave all morning until noonish, lunch for an hour, back to work at 1:00, slave some more, leave for home at 5:00, get home and crash at 5:45. Repeat every M-F. Yup. Other people think of the beautiful miracle that happens in a mother's womb (some at conception, others think it happens much later and they can't decide when). This beautiful miracle has resulted in the 6,952,803,255 people in the world, today. And, no, I didn't just type that number by random. There are almost 7 billion people in the world.

But then there is another crowd. There are people that when you say, "Life," they instantly think of Eternal Life with God the Father. And that is something even more beautiful than life in the womb. And when I think of the love that the Father has for us to grant us that Life, despite our faults and blemishes, it kinda makes my heart skip a beat.
