Today is my birthday. I will go to a funeral today for a priest who died last week across the hall from me in our rectory. He was one month younger than me. He is gone and I am here. I have come to realize that life is a gift as I age. It is a gift not so much for me as it is a gift for others. I have a chance to be of some service to others, that they might have a better day because I am alive in it. Being also Palm Sunday weekend I will have the Evening service today. We celebrate someone who is a Gift to many people. The gift of life is not all about me, but all about all of us caring for one another. So once again you get a blog to read. And I get to open some birthday cards.
