The morning was enlightened with another profound lesson from Father LeRoy at St. Mary’s. During Holy Mass, he spoke about the "Science of God," which really made me ponder deeply. He described how God knows every detail about us, including our most hidden thoughts and the eventual paths we might walk in life. It was a reminder that every choice, just like every detail in creation, is seen and known by God, yet our destiny is shaped by our own free will.
This theme of choices and outcomes resonated with me throughout the day, especially in the afternoon when Sister Mary Claire and I discovered a bag of old recipe cards. They had been left by a neighbor who was moving and had decided to pass on some of her cherished memories. Each card, with its unique recipe and scribbles, seemed like a small decision made in a kitchen long ago. It made us think about how each choice we make, much like a recipe, combines to create the outcome of our lives.
With a thoughtful heart, Sister Mary Claire decided not to let these snippets of past meals and gatherings go to waste. She carefully packed them into a box and sent them to a friend. It was her way of spreading the joy and sharing the legacy of those recipes, much like spreading the good words and wisdom we receive.
Heavenly Father, as I end this day, I am thankful for the lessons learned and the memories shared. Help me to remember that just as we sort through old recipe cards, deciding what to keep and what to pass on, so too must we choose our actions and paths under Your watchful eyes. May my decisions always reflect Your glory and contribute to a life that, when looked back upon, shows a beautiful recipe well made. Amen.
