Hey Mister, Got A Minute?

“I would gladly stand at a street corner, hat in hand, begging passers-by to drop their wasted hours into it.” — Bernard Berenson

Sometimes the hours it costs to volunteer, as a Lector, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, and Catechism teacher, seem too expensive.

And then I’m reminded that volunteering time, to help children and adults become closer to Jesus Christ, is worth ever penny hour.

There will come a time when rest will be eternal.  Until then, donate your time as best you can. It’s the ultimate currency.

And these five daily blogs, they are also a donation. But you already knew that.

Will the joy we felt yesterday, on Thanksgiving Day, last?

I mean, will the spirit of Thanksgiving, and being especially grateful, will it last?

Through the weekend?

Until the end of this month?

Will it last until Christmas?

Or has it come and gone?
