The Olympics are over but the next generation of athletes are training for 2024. They dedicate their time and energy to be the best in the world. It requires endless repetition and discipline to become the best they can be. I wonder what our lives would be like if we had the same dedication to our faith? Would we pay attention to every detail of our faith life? Would we regularly practice loving our neighbor? Would we let faith dominate our day until we became the best followers of Jesus we could be? A hundred years from now, most people will not remember who won the Olympics but the impact of our choice of what we say and do will still be having an impact on people we never knew.
To go thought:
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave
me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes
and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came
to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry
and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you
a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see
you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever
you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25-35-40
