Not only does the young lady give thanks for her parents yes to life but she also gives thanks to God's yes to her.
the best way to give thanks to God for the gift of one's life is to renew our faith in Him. This is this thanks he desires, a humble contrite heart. A heart filled with gratitude is a heart alive with faith.
A heart alive with faith is a life full of gratitude.
By renewing our faith we say 'yes' to God who first said 'yes' to us.
Not only do we say yes to God but in renewing our baptismal promises we are saying yes to eternity. Is this not what we dream of, life and love that is everlasting and eternal, happily ever after, a love without end.
This is the gift of baptism if we so choose to embrace it and live it.
In living our faith we truly make the gift of life something beautiful for God.
Then our yes becomes a yes forever which is the only way to mirror God's yes which is always forever.
