Are you making God proud with the life you live? - Daily Bible Reflections October 4,2014

Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi
 
A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
 
Job lived a hundred and forty years after this... And then he died at a very great age. – Job 42:16-17
 
       “Joey’s life is like a flower in God’s garden that blossomed beautifully. God found it so irresistible, He had to pick it and take it to His bosom.” The priest tried to explain why God took our beloved events pillar head prematurely.
       There are many things Joey will no longer get to do, especially his oft-repeated desire to see his grandchildren. But the outpouring of love during his wake showed that he already lived out God’s purpose for his life. His wife, Myrna, heard countless stories on how he made servants and attendees feel loved and welcomed at The Feast Alabang. He inspired many to serve God through various ministries. It was awe-inspiring to witness the standing ovation this quiet and humble man received during our community’s memorial Mass.
       Joey did not live to 140 like Job, but he died at a great age — not in years but in the impact of a life lived for the Lord and His people. If we live a life pleasing to God, as Job and Joey did, then at whatever age we are called home, it will be a great age. Lella M. Santiago (mirellasantiago@yahoo.com)
 
Reflection: Are you making God proud with the life you live?
 
Lord, help me to live a life that is beautiful in Your eyes.
 
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
