"And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" Luke 2:49
Advent day 2 - And just like that Jesus is twelve, it makes you realize how life moves past us quickly. I can close my eyes and be transported back to yesterday or what really seems like yesterday but many years have passed. Mary and Joesph, Simeon and Anna were all thankful along the way, they never stopped thanking God. It was done with their presence in His temple, it was done with their willingness to accept God's grace. Every once in awhile we are reminded that time moves quickly, what we do everyday, the simple gestures speaks to who God is in our lives. Be thankful for the simple things, be thankful that you woke up. God is so amazing that sometimes we forget to give thanks or we get so busy that we have no time for God, realize that the simple gestures have the most impact, be present to God everyday of your life, it is way more fun and a lot more peaceful!

What is God saying to me: My mission is not yet complete, continue to listen and respond.
Dear Father, being thankful rings in my heart this morning, there is so much to be thankful for and they are all gifts from You. You are the giver of all good things, help us realize how important You should be in our lives. Help young people understand how quickly life moves, it is in our daily worship that peace and joy can be found. Here I am Lord, I am present to You today, use me to do Your will. May I always be thankful even in my troubles. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Lost Souls, pray for us.
