A metaphor for everything in life we appreciate but hesitate to express

Feeding a hungry world is Father Ennis’ lifelong calling

 

I’m still a chicken. Yesterday at Mass I thought, this is the day. This is the day as we exit the Church, I’ll see Father Ennis (as Jesus of course) and get down on my knees and kiss his feet.

But it is still too embarrassing to carry out.

All of us, this is a metaphor for everything in life we appreciate but hesitate to express our gratitude. Some day the opportunity may be gone.

Father Ennis has grown and maintained his extraordinary Passion for over 50 years.

Remarkable.

When we feel like God is not close

The yellow (brick?) road leads to you at the far end

 

When we feel like God is not close, let us remember that there is nothing in this world that can separate us from Him. Ever.

Never. Ever.

Even when we walk away.

There is no excuse for God not being in our life.

People with a keen awareness of their emptiness celebrate this

thank you sign in many languages
Celebrate the inexhaustible gifts of ssib

 

God has blessed some (all, really) people with a keen awareness of their emptiness. In doing so for them, He leads them down an unknown path, often frightening.

Those that follow find unimaginable joy, especially in the riches that fill the universe – the small, seemingly insignificant blessings (ssib) that engulf us.

If we only had eyes to see.

Thanks for your ssib – simply being here today, reading this, and going forth to fulfill today’s work.

Ever feel God is really digging your efforts and setting you up for humble glory?

Ever feel God is really digging your efforts and setting you up for humble glory?

After the standing ovation, in a spontaneous revelation I told the audience, “If that was for me, it was too much. If it was for Walt Disney, not enough”.

Wasn’t expecting a standing-o. Wasn’t surprised either.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for that fun moment. And for not getting jealous the subject was Walt Disney. You made me smile.
