Daily Thoughts 11/13/2012

Just a few thoughts to take you through the day...

Daily Thought: Today's Gospel from Luke might seem a bit puzzling..."When you have done all you have been commanded say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'" Perhaps a better translation of "unprofitable" is "owed nothing." What Jesus is getting at is that all we have is "gift!" If we use our gifts, talents, abilities, opportunities for the Kingdom of God, then we are doing what we are suppose to do. We are "owed nothing." By living life well we earn nothing because everything is God's gift! Perhaps rather than looking for what we think we are owed it might be best to be grateful today!

Daily Prayer: God, giver of all good gifts, teach us to always have concern for the stanger, the sick and those in need and through prayer help us to see Christ in everyone we meet, because they like us are you gift. May we always honor life is Your Gift!

Runner's Thought: Running Mindfully - "When I run, I "am" running. In other words, when I run. I become running. All that I was was before the run and all that I will be again when the run is complete, is of secondary importance. For the moment, I am the run, and nothing more." - Roger Joslin
