way: we earn God's gift only by realizing that we're not God! By realizing that
we're lost, that we are dependent creatures by God's design. Ask St. Augustine;
he knows. We are "restless" until we "rest in Thee".
So we're given this amazing gift of God. Now our "assignment" is to give just as
freely as we have been given to.
Prayer
Lord, we thank you for our weakness,
and all the times you have brought that to our attention.
Lord, we thank you for the gift of seeing this,
and of being able to respond to this realization.
Lord, we thank you for the gift you give us
of being able to cooperate with you,
of being able to help build your Kingdom on earth.
of being able to help heal the wounds, to comfort the abandoned,
and bring the lost home to You.
Thank you for the gift of being able to say "thank you".
Amen
