Reflections

The son said in reply, “I will not,” but afterwards he changed his mind and went.
(Matthew 11:29)

How many times, Lord, I have bristled against authority. I want to help people, but in my own way and on my own time. Who am I to resent orders? Forgive me, Lord, for my resistance, and help me to think better of it, as did the son in the parable.

Today, I will counter against my reluctance by expecting distractions and interruptions. With your grace, I will greet as an opportunity the ringing of the phone or knocking at my door. Help me to say and mean, “How can I serve you?” Thy will be done.
