Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
~~~ Proverbs 8:22-31~~~ Psalm 8 ~~~ Romans 5:1-5 ~~~
~~~ John 16:12-15 ~~~

What is man that you should be 
mindful of him,
or the son of man that you
 should care for him?

God is mindful of each of you.

God the Father is mindful of you...
he created you.

God the Son is mindful of you...
he died on the cross for you.

God the Holy Spirit is mindful of you...
he blesses and inspires you.

We cannot understand the mystery of the Trinity...

We might not grasp how God can take delight in us...

We can see how much God loves us each time
we contemplate the crucifix.

I was his delight day by day,
playing before him all the while,
playing on the surface of his earth;
and I found delight in the human race.

As I reflect on these verses of Proverbs,
I get this playful vision of a young child skipping
 along the waters edge kicking and splashing in the water.

Having the care free time of his life.
All is well with the world...
everything is perfect.

Soon another child comes along.
The two play together laughing, giggling
 building elaborate sand castles.

What do you take delight in doing?
How do you have celebrate life?
Are you willing to have fun?

If God finds delight in humans what is he seeing?
Are you one of the humans God
 finds delight in?

Always believe that God does take delight in you.
He created you to know him, love him,
and serve him...he takes delight in you as one
of his special human creations.

When you find something
 that brings you delight
remember that this is but a fraction
 of the delight God has for you.

Are you smiling yet?
God takes delight in your smile.

Grab the mirror...
Be Blessed!
~~~Peace~~~
