Oh my goodness. The unintentional alliteration has pleased me so much! Three things on Thursday. I’m cracking up.
Anyway…I’m meditating on the Luminous mysteries, a favorite of mine that played an integral part in my faith journey, and I was thinking about ways I could be the Light of Christ in the world today.
What three little things could I do today to shine that Light?
- Smile — I talk to a lot of people. Some of them are stressed and already feeling like I’m not going to have good news for them.
- Listen — Those same people often feel they have no voice.
- Pray — I’ve been a slacker in that department, making excuses or poor choices instead of saying my prayers.
What three things could you do to shine Christ’s light?
I’m with you. A genuine, heart-felt smile radiates warmth and welcome. I’ve seen many a grizzled face erupt into smiles just because someone happy flashed one at them as she, or he, walked by.
What greater gift can we give than listening attentively? Everyone needs and wants to be heard.
Prayer, yes, of course. Prayer helps us center, helps us realize we are part of the whole, and not alone.
Thank you for your lovely Three Things on Thursday, or was it 3 things on Thursday?
It was three smiles. From you!
