Rainy Days
There is nothing like a great,”sun-shiny” day full of opportunities, ambition, and successes! However, today is not one of those days!
My day, today, feels like it is grinding along with many projects needing my attenion all at once while I have enough energy for doing… oh, maybe half of one project.
Sure, the new baby was up many times last night. This week has extra projects competing for my time, and I have been getting over a cold. Still, somehow, it is through nothing less than the grace of the Holy Spirit that even this seemingly ordinary day takes on extaordinary meaning. Although no honorary proclamations will be made or awards handed out, today I continue to fulfill who God has called me to be: a husband, father, Campus Minister, student, a disciple.
Being engaged in the academic and spiritual community of Aquinas Institute helps me realize this more clearly and to be reminded of the unfolding of my Baptismal mission- even on the days that otherwise seem dominated by dullness.
