It's Your Move

Two important rules of chess concern time and space.  Suppose you apply those rules to your life.  Pretend your time and space is limited to this day only.  Live this day as if it's your last.  The time clock is ticking and you are running out of space.  Consider all your choices carefully.

1. Thank you.
2. I forgive you.
3. I love you.
