As we come to the close of 2018, may we each take time to reflect on how we have measured this past year. If we have not measured it in love, then I fear we may have missed the point.

So, as we step into 2019, I invite you to recommit yourself to loving God with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself. Commit to loving more deeply, more openly, and more generously in the year ahead.

Life is short, and love is the most beautiful gift we can offer one another, and, in truth, ourselves. We really can change the world when love becomes the guiding force of our lives and when we share it freely with everyone around us.

Happy New Year, friends. I love you. Love really is all you need.

Pax et Amor,

Seasons of Love
From the Rock Musical Rent
Written by Jonathan Larson

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love. Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

It’s time now to sing out,
Tho’ the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure measure you life in love.
