Olive Tree Blessings L137

Friendship. Listening. Needle.

When I spoke to the children of St. Joseph South Bend not too long ago the theme was Listening and Friendship. When I first walked in the door to do this after receiving their Mass I saw an old friend Noah Davey. When I was on my way to speak to Mrs. Watson of St. Vincent de Paul not too long ago I was leaving work and Noah was also at the door of this building. When I saw him yet again it was all about Our Lady of Lourdes and Social Security.

There are demons amongst us all and there are also angels. Noah owns one of my pieces I did to honor my brother Eric. It’s the scene of Eric’s death and he purchased it long long long ago. God always places people where they need to be when they need to be there. This is God’s creation not ours.

When I spoke to the children I emphasized the power of listening to God and being moved.

That’s the message. That’s what Eric did and we follow this Hand.

Mark 10:25-35
New King James Version
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

in Jesus’ name. Amen.
