\nYou are here because your ancestors were. You exist because God gave
\nyou life through your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and
\nyour ancestors since the beginning of time. Forever and ever, “unto
\nAges of Ages.”<\/p>\n

They weren’t perfect, and I bet you’re not either! Who is perfect? What
\nis perfection anyway? What does it matter?! The point is we’re
\nhere…alive…together…experiencing God in all Glory.
\nThanks be to those who came before us, and to those who will come after
\nus. Let’s honor them by taking good care of ourselves and making the
\nbest of the lives we’re so amazingly graced with.
\nNext time you dine, before you eat, say a prayer thanking God for your
\nlife, and for the lives of your family.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
