It’s hard to keep writing without knowing if anyone is reading.
But as I write I pretend that my words touch the heart of many others.
I pretend my will to push through will help others push also.
After all thats what is hard; to keep pushing when it feels like there is no more strength left in our body.
As I reflect on my weakness I find that that’s exactly where my strength lies, in my weakness and in my fears
So if you have fears, or lack of energy but huge dreams like me…..push through!!!
On that note I will share todays homily in a readers digest version. Such was inspired on the visit the three wise men made to baby Jesus. The kings visited the manor led by a star, led by something beyond explanation. The kings followed a star, they put energy in making a trip into the desert following a star, they packed the best gifts they could offer and at the end were able to see what they hoped for deep in their hearts. The kings were able to see God on earth as man, the trip and risks they made had been rewarded. After visiting the baby, our prince, our savior, they left back to where they came from taking another road, for they had been instructed in a dream to return through another path.
To me that alone was a beautiful reminder that stars lead to dreams, that we will be rewarded for the journey we make if we offer the best we have. The homily was of similar inspiration it reminded everyone that there are important points in life we should try to remember. Having a new year to live our lives it can be helpful to keep them in mind so I will share them with you.
1) Be alert, be ready
2) Get moving, take the trip, it starts with today and it starts with the first step
3) expect resistance, when we start we take action is when we notice the resistance in others and in ourselves
4) Offer the best you have, not the second best
5) When we find God, when we are in touch with our higher power our path will not remain the same
