Nice reflection.

The first parable in today’s Gospel reading reminds me a lot of Matthew 25, where The Son if Man separates the sheep from the goats. Although in today’s reading the angels separate the good from the bad, you chose a nice rainbow trout as the good but left me hanging on what you would consider bad. Maybe some sort of bottom feeder like a carp?

Anyway, you nicely point out about how you and your family chose, using the gift of free will, to become a “keeper” in the angels eyes. In a convoluted way, how you live your life will determine what you become in the end. The end of your adventure will be in bucket, but what a bucket.

Mark

I choose to believe there is a better world for us. Amen.

Dan. Your reflection on the word of God is indeed very inspiring. Yes, truly for me and my house hold, we shall choose to believe.

The right path is always the harder path, filled with more sorrows and the cross, always the cross. Thankfully God never abandons us. He gives us help when we cry out to Him. Thank you for this reflection.
