How We Look At Things

Be still and take heart, "Behold, I am making all things new." (Rev 21:5)
We might look at a bouquet and see only the dying daisy and not the rest of the brilliant colored flowers; we might look at a cocoon and see only the home of an ugly caterpillar and not the vehicle for a beautiful butterfly to make it's way into the world.  We might look at a headline about a teen overdose and miss the thousands of teens who are doing their best to "stay straight" and live up to the high moral standards offered to them at home, Church and school.  We need to be awakened to the beauty of what's right under our noses, and remember that God's infinite love makes anything possible.  Faith needs to grow, and for this we ask in these days before Holy Week, so that we can appreciate the great demonstration of love God gives us in the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.  Let us open our eyes and see the goodness and beauty all around us.
