It’s so obvious it eludes us

We will be having dinner as an invited Guest tonight.

A few days ago at Sunday Mass, our Priest shared that Parishioners are invited to have dinner in celebrating the end on Ramadan.

Our Son expressed interest in going (i asked first and he said yes).

The overwhelming similarity is Love

Same message – an overwhelming message of Love.

 

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me today to be kind and generous and patient. And help me to be forgiving, and loving. Help me to be a light for others. Help me radiate Your warmth, your compassion and your mercy.

And help me to be Your voice that encourages others to transform their situation.

On Facebook, a friend wrote that “people who tell others that they can do anything are cruel, just visit a rehab facility”.

Some, in that very same rehab facility need to hear that they can transform.

Yes, a difficult balance in messaging versus audience.

What we say may overwhelm some, while for others what we say is the perfect encouragement.

Please help me to understand the difference.

Holding on and letting go

One is missing, but only because he was taking the photo.

 

Email from college buddy yesterday. One of our Fraternity’s (Pennsylvania Tau chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon) founding fathers (of which 36 of us form a special bond) left our earthly world for the next stage in his life.

Jim Powell was a good, decent, and gentle man.

He was 58.

Cancer forever changed the destiny of his life.

None of us ever expect to have to fight cancer.

If cancer does knock on our door, how will we move forward?

Christmas can be a lonely time for some. Praying that each of us can find solace that no matter our place in life, God wastes nothing.

What does this mean?

To me, it means that everyone has the greatest, free, and unlimited resource available at their beck and call.

May we never become bitter about circumstances that are “bitter-worthy”.

Life is good

Our Savior teaches us not to judge, even when the temptation is before us.

 

On this day a Savior was born.

Life is good.
