I head out today to join my whole family for Easter. All the kids and grandkids in one house. Should be a hoot! So today marks the last of the Lenten Pews, I hope you have enjoyed and gotten something out of them this year. The Hubbell Pew will take an Easter break and return in a week. I hope all the readers have a wonderful Easter.
I think we each receive a huge sign from God on how to live our life from considering the gifts he gives each and every one of us.
God gives us the gifts of life, love, and mercy because he knows how these gifts can change us and empower us. We are given these gifts to share them with our neighbors.
During the remainder of Holy week give some thought to how you might share the gifts of life, mercy, and love.
To honor your gift of life, should you protest in some way the senseless taking of life that our society has institutionalized and allowed? Should you work with the sick and infirm? Each of us has unique skills how to use them to honor and share the gift of life you have been given.
To honor the gift of mercy, should you reach out to someone in need or crisis, or by advocating peace at home, in your community, or the world?
To honor the gift of love, do you feed the poor and children, or visit and show compassion to the lonely.
Again examine your skills and share your gifts with the world. When you do, you say thank you and honor God.
