St. Patrick's Day Gift

March 17,2015

My wife Joy is about to leave for the Tampa airport when the phone rings. It is the admissions office at the Soldiers Home in Holyoke Mass. They have a bed for her dad, Walter. He has been on the waiting list for nearly a year.

"Isn't God great," Joy exclaims, hanging up the phone. "God's timing is perfect.

She's right. This week is the only time Joy would be in New England before summer. She was going to facilitate a women's retreat and had planned on visiting her dad in the rest home afterwards. Now she can move him into the Soldiers Home.

Thank you Lord. A prayer answered and on St. Patrick's Day not less.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." (James 1:17)

Uncoditional Love

Week of August 18

School started this week in many communities. I remember in grade school the teacher went around the room explaining what each person's name meant. When she reached me she said Malcolm means
"bald headed monkey." I you just laughed that is exactly what my classmates did. I was humiliated.

I went home furious with my mother. I demanded why she named me explaining what my teacher said. "Your teacher is incorrect," she responded. "Malcolm means bald eagle." Immediately this third grader's ego was restored. To her credit,  the teacher announced the correction the next day.

I didn't appreciate my mother's unconditional love for me until she was gone. I bet the Apostles felt the same way about Jesus.

"God loves us so unconditionally that, "He gave his only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life." (John 3:16)
