Do what you like ... Like what you do

I had the opportunity to attend and see the Phillies play the New York Mets yesterday. They won and it was a clean sweep of their three game series.

It made me think; what a great way to make a living ... playing a game that, I'm sure the players like, make very good money doing it and at the same time giving the fans a lot of enjoyment, especially when they win.

Then I had another thought. I'm like those players. I'm certainly doing something I very much enjoy, especially saying Sunday Mass. I have the opportunity to preach to a lot of people and hopefully I'm able to give them something they need; namely the Word of God.

We people are two dimensional ... physical and spiritual. We all need physical nourishment to sustain us and physical stress to keep us sharp and on our toes. We also need spiritual food, the Eucharist and spiritual stress; the daily temptations of life to keep us on the right track. Just as we have doctors to help when we get sick, we also have the Sacraments to get us back on track when we fail. The more we use those things that are available to us, the more we enjoy life and the stronger we become in our relationship with the Lord. Do in life what you like and like what you're doing ... What a great life and it can be yours!

God Bless You.
