What2Say2Day? Firstly, let me apologize for taking yesterday as a day off. I'm making it up, though by submitting something today; and today is a day mixed with blessings and challenges. Church was good, especially the time I spent with our youth in Sunday school. We spoke about how grace and justice are intertwined. The passage we looked at was about the 10 bridesmaids found in Matthew 25. According to the commentary I read in preparation of today we are to live our lives on constant readiness of the coming of God's Kingdom because we're living under God's Reign (aka His Kingdom) now. To live our lives constantly waiting for the end is counterproductive. We should instead live on the now, in full readiness, just as the 5 wide bridesmaids did. To do this means we need to live our lives looking for opportunities to make things right (justice) while at the same time be sure we love unconditionally, freely giving ourselves to make others' lives better (grace). Not an easy task, Io agree, but something to work towards.
