As I prayerfully prepared my spirit and mind for whatever the Lord has for my heart to receive this morning at mass I noticed something. I still have traces of dirt under my fingernails from yesterday’s weed pulling tasks! Why do we take note of these things at the most inconvenient of times and places? Geez, I’m in church, I should be clean, tidy, and without blemish.
Alas, that’s why I’m here. I’m not without blemish. Sometimes, the things I say, do, and think reveal the uncleanliness in my life. I’m here, with so many others around me and all over the world seeking the same thing. To be honest with myself and admit my faults, to seek forgiveness, receive grace, give thanks and most importantly, sing praise to Him who is the living water I need.
We all have a little “dirt under our fingernails”. Let’s go out humbly seeking Him to get ourselves clean and with kindness assist someone in tidying up. Be blessed y’all!
