Simple graces

Another birthday is in my rearview mirror. Mercifully, my good health remains. Getting elderly has its rewards, though I’ve not had anyone hold the door for me. Lately, I have had renewed recollections of Jesus’ words … words long known to me though not appreciated: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you … You cannot serve both God and money … Pray for your enemies …” Words return to me as I walk down the street … as I do chores … Jesus living and working among us … in our midst … the Jesus of every day … the simple graces … loving us always.
