Mary knew you're and what a great I don't know you know

Sorry, I was like stuck it was stuck right here. I

Think I broke a rib ooh

I'm a name's Father Mike Smith and this is a center presents so what a year. I mean

There's some things so interesting about the fact that we divide up our lives into segments, right?

Whether that be hours or days weeks months years decades

But whenever we come to the end of a segment and start a new segment

There's something good about that I think for us

You know whether that be the end of the church year and the beginning of the new detergically or an advent or

Come to the end of the calendar year and the end of December and start a new year in January and January first

There's something really good about this because what it does is

It

Reveals us reminds us reveals to us reminds us of the fact that well, life is always new

It's always changing. It's also always the same right is it's as we say cyclical. I think so good

I love one of the things I love about living at the latitude I'm living at in Northern Minnesota is we get four seasons

I don't have an unlimited number of days. I don't have an unlimited number of weeks or months or years in my life

My days are numbered my breaths are numbered my heartbeats

I only have so many heartbeats left in fact some people some of my friends. I would share with them

You know that when it comes to food when it comes to meals

I've often shared with them. I'm like I have a limited number of meals left and I am not going to waste one on
