Do you divide family and friends …
Into men and women, girls and boys,
close friends, acquaintances, colleagues,
those to keep at a distance, even enemies?
Are we better served by addition versus subtraction; multiplication instead of division.
Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside,
asking to speak with you.”
Gospel of Matthew
Can a tree be a saint?
waving those arms lovingly all day,
reaching upward, providing shelter,
fulfilling its created role, perfectly,
without decisions or complaints, just adoration.
Can I be a saint?
“I say to you, something greater than the temple is here.”
Gospel of Matthew
Today, if you woke with a pain in your heart,
save it for another suffering more than you,
surely there are others who need to feel the closeness of God.
More than me, who knows Him well.
“Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.”
The Gospel of Matthew
