GLIMPSES OF HEAVEN
There are times in our lives that we get the chance
to see a glimpse of heaven. It may be through the
love of another, loved one or stranger. Sometimes it
may even be an event that seems unexplainable,
perhaps even supernatural. These occurrences may
be the answer to prayer or they may surprise us by
or origin, they give us hope and strength to carry on
through life.
When we journey on a pathway of stewardship, we
are bound to experience moments of grace where
we see even the smallest seeds we planted grow into
something amazing. At these moments, we are re-
minded that God is real and that our stewardship is
not in vain. The giving of our gifts and talents is not
just a response to God's calling. The giving is one
way that God breaks through into the lives of oth-
ers. As we use what God has given us for his glory,
he uses us as instruments of grace to be truly pre-
sent to others.
The greatest example of this occurs at the Mass.
Through the hands of an ordained priest taking the
gifts of bread and wine, God is really present with
accept the offer to take him into the world to others.
The world cannot see Jesus in us with human eyes,
but through our works of stewardship, they can see
Jesus in us. One could say they even have a chance
to see a glimpse of heaven.
