Life

We Are The Church

This week I reached what I refer to as the "double nickels", age  55.  Wow, what a journey.  Today I find myself surrounded by blessings.  My wife, my children, soon to be Grandchild and of course all of my dogs and grand-dogs!  During this week I did reflect on the journey, and man 55 years is a really long time, but it seems as if it went by in a flash!  I do think about passing moments now, and time.  Time being together, time spent sharing stories, time spent listening.  I want to spend more time listening to the stories of my family and my brothers and sisters in Christ.   The words of those stories are like bread - filling and satisfying.  They give me strength and courage.  This life is not all that complicated when we keep our eyes on Jesus and listen to each other and share God's Peace and Love. For me, I pray to grow in the ability to listen, and sit in the moment and let the love of God expressed through my neighbors and family wash over me.  Nothing can take that away.  God has blessed, is blessing and promises blessings yet to be seen.

Pray with me for all of creation and those in need.

Peace Be With You. 

Amen
