Luke 13:35-43

We had an early thanksgiving dinner yesterday with our family and as always we went around saying what we are thankful for. Jack almost holding back tears said he would not have imagined how his life would turn out to be. Almost in disbelief and full of gratitude he said “I would have never imagined that I would be this blessed…” or words to that effect.

This has been a year of great challenges. From my own mistakes which landed me in the media and will live on for years to realizing the presence and love of God in those around me and our church family indeed we are blessed. In today’s gospel Our Lord Jesus asks the blind man. “What do you want?” ”Master, that I may see.”

Can you see my friend? Can you see how present that Lord is? Can you see how he carries you and wishes your eyes were open? Through out the gospels Our Lord opens eyes and asks his disciples to be awake, to see that they are in the kingdom but they are blinded by the trials and tribulations of life. Today I pray that you may see.
