Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
Everyday many I take for granted treat me as one of their friends. They love me with the greatest love of all. They lay down their life for me. More accurately, like Jesus, their life is taken from them. They die that I might live.
I'm talking about the sacrificed plants and animals I eat, wear, and take shelter in.
I live because of their ultimate life-giving sacrifice. Because of them my heart swells with gratitude. To them my lips speak words of heart-felt thanks and praise. I owe my life to these my taken-for-granted friends.
