What is.......

The other night saw the Tournament of Champions come to its conclusion--and the winner took away $250K.  Wow, I remember the days when it was a big deal to win a washer and dryer on Password.  Then, there came the 25,000 pyramid--and so on to Who Wants to  be a Millionaire?  The $250K prize is a great give-away...until you place it on the balance scale of your life. 

 Exactly what can you give in exchange for your life?  Today, Pope Benedict gives up the Papacy--and from where I sit--"to live."  He will be the first Pope in 600 years to out-live the Papacy?  Apparently there is something greater than the Papacy--and that is your God-given life.  When you rise in the morning how do you give thanks for that life?  show forth that thanks? and be that thanks for others/

My thought?  You give gratitude in exchange for your life.  At least Jesus gave up his life in the Last Supper that way--the Eucharist, the word that means "thanksgiving"--his last word to us.
