Today is my mom's birthday. Happy birthday mom. I love you.
I took my mom to church this morning. I've never been good about listening in church. My mind wanders and I used to even imagine turning the sanctuary into a huge playhouse--like play time with Jesus lol.
Anyways, this morning I listen to the Homily, and it was like the priest was speaking right to my soul. He started by speaking of hopelessness and how so many of us have lost faith, not only in our own lives, but in the humanity of others. He spoke of the good people in the world and how so many of us question their goodness, because we are unsure of the authenticity of others. Also we are so unsure of other's goodness because we focus so much on the darkness. We are so quick to hold grudges and remember the bad that someone has done, and so slow to forgive and let it go. Most of us don't want to believe someone can change for the better, and very few of us will accept any changes someone has made. But my favorite part of the Homily was when he reminded us all of the importance of being authentic ourselves. Because if we all truly practiced authenticity and focused on bettering our own lives, we would see a dramatic change in the world. After all, it is our walk in faith that is what will get us to the place we need to be spiritually--not someone else's.
I'm not a huge "church goer" but I really did enjoy this Homily today. The best thing you can do for this world now, is to look deep into your heart and be authentic. Live honestly and with love.
Okay, I'm going to get some rest. Sending you guys all lots of love.
Go change the world. Do it for Elijah.
Thank you.
Oh my sweet boy.
I love and miss you so much.
Always
Always
Always.
