My dog, Yoda, teaches me about resurrection every day. It is true, my dog has a very good life - a warm bed, food in his belly and lots of love! But his life was not always that blessed. So he still has issues with things like thunder and lightening and small children. I don't know what happened to him before he came to live with Tom & me. But now, he greets every single morning with gusto and excitement. To him, every day is a great day - a day full of new adventures. He gets and gives a great deal of P-mail, which gives him great joy. He greets most humans and most dogs with interest and equanimity. (He is not so sure about cats!) He is always happy to see me and Tom. He seizes the day and runs with it as far as he is able. I think that is what living a “resurrected life” is all about.

Prayer: Lord give me the grace to see life, with all its possibilities. Let me not worry, for You have my back. Let me not waste one minute of the precious time you have allotted for me to be on this earth.
