PARISH BULLETIN |
Dear Parishioners and Summer Visitors, Today’s Gospel says in part:
Oh, I can hear the whining in her voice. Only I think I would of said “Why do I have to do everything?” Thereby letting the “Poor Me” syndrome set in. I remember some years ago coming home from work on a warm summer day. My husband and kids had been home all day. (Oh yes, that does happen when you are married to a school teacher and it’s summer time). I walked into the house startled by all the messes that have been left through the day. My mind and body went right to resentment but it was shortly changed to anger when my darling husband said to me with a big smile, “Matt, and the family are coming over in about 1/2 an hour to hang out and have dinner.” Oh...did I want to punch a wall. However, I took that energy and used it to clean up and cook dinner. Any closet near by was stuffed with a toy or anything else that was laying around. No time to mop, I just whipped out the vacuum and got to it. I then started tearing up the kitchen looking for the makings of that perfect dinner. By the time Matt and his family arrived I was in no mood to entertain and I am sure they sensed my emotions. I don’t recall if they ever came back after that evening, would you? There is only one child at home now and there are no more awful messes. I am still married to that same school teacher, who is still off all summer, but I have learned how to ask for help so that I too, can spend time with those that come to visit. What a surprise-they don’t come to see my house they come to see myself and my family, wow what a concept, that’s right, I don’t have to worry what people think-no need to impress. It might be that they come over and the floor isn’t mopped or there are dishes in the sink and that is ok, today. It is more important for me to spend time with my family and friends, and listen to what is going on in their lives. The dirty ole floor or those darn dishes will be taken care of when they leave.
Today, I have chosen the best part, and will ask for help so that it will not be taken from me. Carpe diem….Seize the Day! |
