PRESENCE

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus on this beautiful morning, the day we honor our Lady of Guadalupe, I think of my mother, as today is her birthday.  Yesterday brought the realization to me that I need to work harder at seeing the PRESENCE of God in everything. I lit my second candle on my advent wreath and the light is very bright!

There are times we go up and down, and even sideways, but the consistent factor in our life must be JESUS CHRIST!  As my coffee mug says, Matthew 28:20 “I am with you always”.  It is the perfect reminder we are never alone.  It also reminds me that it’s the little thoughtful things that people do that spreads the love of Christ. The oranges left at my front door, the beautiful Christmas cards I receive, a visit from a longtime friend, all create blessings.  All the simple things remind me of how blessed I am.

Today is my turn to show kindness, to be the light to others, and to celebrate that Jesus is with us always.  Just like my car battery yesterday, everything and everyone sometimes just needs a boost.  Have a blessed day!
