Life IS too short ...What an inspiring meditation!! Life IS too short to waste it on negative thoughts! I have been reading / thinking about different meditations that you wrote. When you speak of the Universe, life is put in perspective for me. I am often misunderstood, which is not intentional; however, it is frustrating for everyone involved! I am not trying to make things complicated but it is difficult to convey. <br /><br />What would I do if I knew I had 24 hours to live? I would be daring, really. I would tell everyone who is important to me that I love them, without exception. Everyone who has made an impact on my life has influenced who I am. I am this small piece of the Universe. Each and everyone of us is this small piece of the Universe. I would tell them this..... and that life is too short to waste it on negative thoughts. God is Love, and that is who I want to be. As you always have said: Love is sacrifice.<br /><br />I wish we all could live like it was our last day on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-29856641553206140792011-04-06T18:17:29.458-05:002011-04-06T18:17:29.458-05:00Amen.. Miracles are all around us every day. No wo...Amen.. Miracles are all around us every day. No wonder at an ever increasing pace are there so many distractions to steal our quietness and openness to them. Very simple- the more I activly tune out distractions and replace that time with: scripture, Mass, adoration, prayer, giving to others the more my eyes and heart are open to His many daily wonders that pass by us most commonly without notice. This is increases our faith and draws us more near to Our Lord.bjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525108660321231186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-34976373511319184042011-04-05T09:32:23.964-05:002011-04-05T09:32:23.964-05:00People don't believe me when I tell them that ...People don't believe me when I tell them that my family depends on miracles daily. It is absolutely true! There is no mathematical way that anyone could account for all the "coincidences" that occur each and every day for the benefit of my family. I am so humbled every day and I thank God for granting us such blessings. Please tell all the stories you have Fr. Alfonse. When that water of life seeps into teeny cracks in someone's mind and soul, it can open them wide to see and know God's incredible love for them.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620234151739484197noreply@blogger.com
