Serving is worship

Serving is worship.

But ‘worship’ isn’t necessarily serving.

Sitting in a pew at Church is a passive activity. The congregation is being served by the Priest. The congregation is not particularly focused on others during Mass.

Parishioners are highly likely to be thinking about serving others. But like all activities in life, we do not have time to do them all. So serving others is more like a wish or desire than an actual behavior.

The road to heck is paved with good intentions.

And so, we drive home after Mass and get back into our daily survival mode.

There’s a highly overlooked habit that you can master. And if you don’t think you can master it, perhaps you can be very good at it.

Mostly invisible or imperceptible by others, focus on these types of behaviors…

Serving others (and yourself) with patience, forgiveness, generosity, kindness, hope…this is the emotional DNA that makes life blossom.

No one really sees pollen and how it gets to a plant, but it does, prolifically.

As i always say, “Every step is Church”.

Makes sense then to think (and believe) that every step is serving.

Grateful for intense adversity

Grateful for intense adversity.

The timing is always bad, but the opportunity is always golden.

Especially in hindsight.

Trust that what feels awful, and impossible, is a rare gift.

Your two choices are simple.

Embrace and maximize the opportunity.

Resist and loose the transformational opportunity of lifetime.

Let the first thing be

Let the first thing be, upon awakening, thank you.

So cliche.

Say thank you to start your day.

Up to you.

Proud of you for the way you honor such a simple, initial, daily habit and ritual.

Being a noticer is a double-edged sword

Unusual flower next to the sidewalk, about the size of a quarter.

 

Being a noticer is a blessing and a curse.

Blessing because you discover so much.

Curse because you discover so much.

No in between

Child-like wonder is a real thing.

 

Seems as though you bless every dinner before eating or you don’t.

No in between.

What will the youngsters learn from either habit?
