Salt Can Enhance Flavor....But THese Days It's Taste Usually Burns!

What happens to salt when it loses its flavor...asks the Holy Scripture?

It is worthless...simply scatter and trample upon...
But we ourselves are to be salt to the world...
With kind, encouraging, motivating words.

But today most places my precious William & I have ever gone,
From New Orleans to Maine...
North Carolina to Florida...and back to Lake Pontchatrain's Northshore...
North again through Arkansas Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota...
Even Wisconsin folks are all very lonely...
All want new friends...

But none could receive our friendship that we offered joyfully expecting only kindness...
Our bright Sonshiney Smiles they were not able to return...

Most folks as they got to know us...
They learned  we had no home at that time and were tent camping like the biblical times...
Jesus and HIS apostles and ST Paul after HIM...carried their tents on their backs or donkeys as they walked from town to town.

These folks instead of allowing themselves to be filled with our joy....
Our joy which is HIS...
They instead of receiving HIS best and better part which is HIM Himself...
Living Eucharist which is HIM living within us...
Living within each of you...Being broken, pouring out to and upon one another...
Broken, shared, prepared to listen, prepared to amuse with a balm of laughter and kindness...
Never haughty or rude...
Ourselves broken open to share our inner most hearts...loving, listening...singing new songs of hope to each other...sisters and brothers...

We who seek HIM each day...each Sabbath Sunday...
In HIS Holy Mass consecrated in Holy Catholic Churches around the world by HIS
Consecrated Priests...
Continuing the Tradition which HE Himself Jesus Christ
Directed HIS disciples now apostles to begin in HIS Name!

Each of us are called to be transparent vessels carrying HIM to others;
Allowing HIM to shine and echo out of our hearts through our smiles of joy...
But love, joy, and friendship though free indeed...
To any one regardless of race, education, backgrounds never need be checked...

An open heart not hardened...but tenderized and not by pounding like in a butcher shop
Pork chops before frying!
It is so easy to surrender...for some it may feel like giving up or giving in.

Giving in or giving up most equate with failure...
The difference is who or what one gives into...
One who gives into another pressing them to join them into sinful or criminal behavior...
Is the only kind of "giving in" that is shameful that one must eventually repent.

Laying down the desire to do it "My way and no way else!"
Allowing God to choose where to send them by not making they plans so definite that they cannot respond to God in an instant when HE wants to place their steps along a detour a little side journey along the way!

It is these little things that make life fun and interesting which we must embrace as they befall us...
Otherwise we could be resisting receiving the gifts we have planted, watered, asked and prayed for...
For possibly a very long time...

Changes we resist could be our hearts greatest desires full filled that we never receive only because as our hearts kept kneeling...
Our minds stayed too fixed on our plans that we miss God and our hearts desires missed are snatched by the deceiver.

The salty burn of repercussions of our words and the words of others who push away their own hearts desire...  Are you too salty?  Are you a heavy weight?  Are you a heavy shaker or a tenderizer with a gentle nature?

Our Words Always Matter...For Every Word We Speak is Either Building or Tearing Down Something Good & Pure... Our Anger Could Be Building the Dominion of the Evil One WE are Complaining of and do not Even REalize It!

Regardless where you and I are on any given day...each one of us are building contractors building something near us and far away...as far as our words travel each day!
