No Act not Taken into Account

A quote from Catherine McAuley;

There is no act of ours that the Almighty will not take into account.

This past week I was on vacation visiting some family of a friend of mine. It was a great time to be away and not have to do anything except be present and enjoy the moment. it gave me some time to do some reflection as we travelled and listened to lots of music. one of our passengers was a little fellow , 6 years old. As a new first grader her loves to sing. He loves to sing the same thing over and over! Between "County Roads" and "Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer" there was little to do or say, but it was a great time to think about the joy of a 6 year old, of how even those two songs gave praise and glory to God since it brought out the best in him.

The adults in the car who allowed the child to listen over and over were very generous. They could have said no after the fifth time.

These are actions that the Lord accounts as good. They re not necessarily pious or holy, yet they raise the simple act of caring for another to a higher level of love. today look at how you are indulgent in your loving and in your actions. Remember the Lord take all of our actions into account, not just the time we are at prayer.
