Just as Jesus appeared to the disciples in the midst of their work and their attempt at fishing, God is with me where I am. I can invite his presence in the morning while I eat my toast or my oatmeal. As breakfast helps ready me for the day ahead, my prayers can help fuel my spirit and my heart, to open myself to ask for God’s help to meet the challenges and to recognize the joys. I want to be ready to thank God for all I have. The disciples and apostles had to get used to the reality of the resurrected Jesus. My prayer is that I build my own life on that cornerstone. How do I reflect the reality of the resurrected Jesus in my own life? How will I celebrate the resurrected Jesus in my own life today and everyday? “This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.” Let me be ready to face the day with fuel for my spirit and my heart. |
