I recently re-read a small collection of reflections that someone had shared with me a few years ago. These were some of the short statements that were cause for reflection for me. I share them with you; perhaps one or more of the following will be a cause of reflection for you!
Salvation is what we receive, not what we achieve!
Can I allow myself to receive from the Lord, rather than show Him what I can achieve?
May we live simply so that others may simply live!
Are there “things” in my life that I have a difficult time admitting I don’t need?
Instead of counting your days, make your days count!
How well am I using the 1440 minutes of the day?
Never underestimate the impact one life can have on another!
Am I aware of the good that each person brings to my life?
You are important to God, whether you think so or not!
Do I believe God sees me as His beloved child?
You don’t become a missionary by crossing the sea, but by seeing the cross!
What are the crosses in my life that God helps me to carry?
Have your tools ready and God will provide the work!
Is there a particular work that God is asking of me today?
God promised a safe landing, not smooth sailing!
In the midst of difficulty, do I trust in God’s providence?
Don’t make prayer a monologue, but rather a conversation!
How well do I listen to the Lord, as He speaks to my heart?
If you do your very best, God is sure to do the rest!
Have I really done my best or been satisfied with doing just OK?
Courage is fear that has said its prayers!
How courageous have I been?
If you think meek is weak, try being meek for a week!
Can I be meek and humble for just today?
God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we can hear twice as much as we say!
When was the last time I listened to someone . . . really listened?
Eternity is a long time to think about what you should have done!
What should I do today that I have been avoiding for too long?
Give your troubles to God, He’s up all night anyway!
Can I offer my cares to the Lord, relying solely upon His love for me?
Have a great week and God Bless you,
Father Kennedy
