Blessings
Another appointed Gospel reading hits the mark:_______________________________________________
The bookkeeping for our finances seems to multiply exponentially. I haven't always been able to keep on top of it, since there are a few other things in my life that occupy my time. Consequently, we periodically get socked with late fees and overdraft charges.
Deciding to shift the paradigm, I purchased the 2009 version of Quicken and set up our accounts to automatically update from our bank through the internet. What a timesaver! Now I know exactly how much money we have--but it's not enough!
Actually, however, we do have all we need. Read the following portion of the upcoming Gospel for July 19 (Mark 6:37-43):
But [Jesus] answered [his disciples],“You give [the crowd] something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
And we, who live in the richest country in the world, complain about not having enough? I am reminded again of all the generous people who helped us bring Kola here and reunite him with his family.
