Eternal Love is making all things new.

Daniel 3:57

Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

We are swimming in blessings.

I know we all have troubles…but the blessings far outnumber the troubles.

It seems we have a choice to either focus our attention on the blessings or the troubles.

Every sunrise, every delicious flavor, every aroma, every smile, every beautiful song, every-next-breath is a gift from God.

Even when negative things happen…God will transform them into something positive with time and faith.

All deaths lead to resurrections.

All the little deaths we must endure along life’s journey lead to new life when we trust and go with the flow of God’s mercy and grace.

And when we are open to that grace…we can also be God’s instrument in turning a curse into a blessing by being a conduit of God’s love. 

All of creation is involved in this process of dying and rising as God transforms death to life.

As St. Paul said, “We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now” (Romans 8:22).

May we all join in a universal song of thanks and praise!
