Fr. Kevin's Cluttered Desk

Where did the year go? It was just yesterday they were putting up the trees and setting out the “yule” log. Where did it go? As I get older, I am noticing that time goes faster, and I have less tomorrows that I used to have; that is, I am running out of tomorrows. Jesus tells us to be alert at all times, look around, pay attention; not to ourselves but to everyone else that needs help, that needs love, that needs us to do something today not tomorrow. The past is past; tomorrow never gets here; all we really have is “now”. So what are we doing with our now? Some refer to our “now” as the present or our present from God. Present can be a factor of time but also a pure gift and sadly can be taken for granted; both as time and as gift of love. So, are we alert, are we paying attention, are we seeking to bring joy into the lives of others? How are we using our present time to prepare ourselves and others for God’s great gift of love for us, Jesus Christ? We don’t always have all the time we think we need or think we want so we better make the best use of the time we have; we need to make better use of the “present” that we have. So what are you going to do with the present that you have this year? Advent is here, the countdown has begun, are you with the sheep or with the goats?
Peace Fr. Kevin
