Today's blog for Lent came for a unique inspiration.
Last night in Father Francis' homily, he spoke of strangers coming into our life and eventually have some meaning into our life. Eventually, those who use to be in our life, become strangers. At first I didn't understand what my brother in Christ was trying to explain but, today as I sat at dinner it started to make sense to me. It's funny how I started to sit and think, where the girls I was sitting with strangers or a part of my life?
For can go through our life meeting people and they become strangers. We can go walking down the sidewalks, into stores, getting gas at the gas station, at theme park, and so many other places and just only slightly meeting a person with a look in the eyes. Neither party can have the idea of becoming friends of having meaning in either's life.
Also you know someone all your life. They are not a stranger. You feel like you can tell them your deepest secrets and you can build a bond with someone. However, as time progresses you discover that a person can slowly slip away and become a stranger thus, the relationship's meaning begins to fade.
As for you and the stranger, when the time is right, have a relationship of some sort starting to develop. The two of you begin to no longer become strangers and begin to actually mean something to each other. Eventually God will show you two what his plan for the two of you.
I think it's funny how we walk around this world, knowing each other for most of our lives and it seems like we know each other but, in reality we don't. We have to open our eyes and see that strangers come into our lives for a reason and sometimes people have to be removed from our lives.
I know none of this may make no sense but, just think of when the burning bush was talking to Moses. That didn't make sense either. However, just be patient and understand God has your back.
