Monday: To God Be the Glory


We have another opportunity to focus on one theme in the three readings:  "Oh, what a wonderful world we live in!"  For today just take sometime to look at the world around you.  Try separating yourself form your day-to-day worries and experiences.

Imagine you are standing in the "new world" before bridges, buildings, autos, jet planes, tv and computers, interstate highways, tall buildings, apartment buildings and homes.  Just you and God are present to each other.  He speaks to you for simple words:  "This is for you."  What a wonderful world!  What a world made by God just for you.  Can your heart and prayer be anything but awe, praise and gratitude?  Let your heart pour out words of gratitude to your God.
