LENT DAY 21

 

When we think of other times, what we had in the past or even could have in the future, it can lead us to be very unhappy with what we presently have.

The important thing about living a spiritual life is the value of the present moment, for this is where we meet God and are blessed.

Sometimes the most amazing and beautiful things are the simplest; a flower rising up out of the soil, waiting to open to the sun, a little bird hopping near and asking for food, the lick of affection from a treasured pet. These are all part of God’s beautiful creation and a blessing of love to us. Let us focus, then, on the spiritually immense offering we receive from the tiniest almost insignificant things and not worry about material things. Let us not worry about the past and the future because we are blessed in the present moment and eternally by the living presence of Christ.

We need nothing else. He will provide for our needs and will never fail us.

What an amazing gift of Love to receive. Amen

Lord may we know the
blessings we receive.
May we ever be grateful for
the precious gift of
your Son who comes to
us and is available in every moment.
Amen
