""You are the salt of the earth." Matthew 5:13A
My wife makes the best mashed potatoes and coming from Ireland this is important. You know her secret ingredient? Salt. Without salt, the potatoes are bland and do not have much flavor, the salt enhances the potatoes, it can not be seen in a big pot of spuds but can surely be tasted. In our relationships and interactions, we may never know the impact we have on others. Do we challenge others to think or ponder a question. With out other people in our lives we can be bland, never underestimate the power of salt, a little bit goes a long way.
What is God saying to me: You have loving memories of others being salt to you with simple acts of love, be the salt.
Dear Father, fond memories come to mind this morning as we pray, they were simpler times. Help us see the simple actions of others and how their actions became part of who we are. Help us see that love is the purest salt that softens hearts and changes who we are. Help me share that love that has been shown me. I pray for a friend who is a non-believer, may You break through to an intellectual thinker. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
