AND THE WINNER IS...
“I
give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you
have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed
them to the childlike.” – Luke 10:21
The clock ticked to... 3 seconds... 2 ... then the buzzer sounded. Game over. The crowd jumped from their seats. We were the champion for the second time in a row in the Altar Servers Basketball League. High fives, big hugs and jumping here and there showed our joy. We went home and celebrated.
During the party, our parish priest congratulated the team and gave
each of us words of affirmation. He reminded us that all things come
from God, and that our skills and talents that helped us win the
championships are blessings He bestowed on us. With this in mind, we
began and ended our celebration with a prayer to show our gratitude for
the God-given talents He entrusted to us.
What blessing did you receive today? Maybe you’ve been promoted or
closed a high-paying deal. Maybe you just passed an exam or received
recognition. Or you just feel extra blessed today. Remember this, at the
end of the day, may we have the heart to acknowledge that all our
blessings came from the Lord and we should glorify Him. Jan Carlo Silan (jan@makatifeast.com)
Reflection: “Thank you” is commonly known but barely used. Have you thanked someone today? Have you thanked God today?
Dear Jesus, grant me a grateful heart so that in all things, I will see Your glory in my life.
St. Francis Xavier, priest, pray for us.
