This theme comes at the perfect time for this grouping of photos, which represent something that I feel is very important.This Sunday is Respect Life Sunday. My interpretation of the Photo Hunt theme is built around respect for life--for life is very important.
Respect for life is important!
Zest for life is important!
Doing something with your life is important!
Making a statement about what you believe is important!
I've had this T-shirt for a long time. I hope it never wears out. It illustrates for me how important it is to embrace all aspects of your life.
As does this saying on our license plate holder (yeah, I could have cleaned it up a bit.) My husband is a volunteer with hospice. This license holder comes from them. Interestingly, our speaker for our Martin Luther King Jr. Day assembly commented that King had said pretty much the same thing--It's not how long you live but how you live your life.What is important is that you live your life as if you believe in something and stand up for those things you believe in. Each January we gather with a group that we don't see a lot of at other times of the year. They are volunteers from various churches in our community who set out a pattern of pink and blue flags as a memorial to lives who never saw the light of day because of abortion and a reminder that there are other Life Options.
For this Respect Life Sunday, find a way of affirming your zest for life and stand up for what you believe.

Happy weekend!!!
I love reading your post. So positive on a Saturday morning. It makes my day.
It's important to put others before self.
I agree that it's not how long you live but how you live. We all may have different views but the important thing is to stand up and be counted for what we do believe. You did that with this post and I respect that. I hope you have a great weekend.
What a nice sentiment leaving flags for those who couldn't be there. Life is certainly very important. Your pictures are really nice. Happy Photo Hunting. Have a nice night.
Almost forgot. Thank you for stopping by shades of mj.

Have you heard the song by Point of Grace called "How You Live" ?? I think you'd like it.
Here are the lyrics:
How You Live (turn Up The Music) - Point Of Grace
Verse 1:
Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don't spend your life lookin' back
Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
Verse 2:
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
'Cause you can't get away
Just face it and you'll be okay
Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
Bridge:
Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
Verse 3:
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
E'en when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end there's nobody else
Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
