leap day

Every four years, in years evenly divisible by 4, except of century years not divisible by 400, on this 60th day on the Gregorian calendar, Februrary 29, 2008... Happy Leap Year!!!

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven" Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

Our lives seem ruled by calendars and time schedules. Today, we are reminded "to rejoice, and to do good" because everyday is a "gift of God". On this extra day, let us redeem the "time to be born, to plant, to heal, to build up, to laugh, to dance, to gather, to embrace, to gain, to keep, to keep silence, to speak, to love... a time of peace."

And I'm reminded that I'd better have a nice gift or it will be four years before I can do it the right way!
