THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas Mark 4:26-34 Year C Today is the last friday of the month and our gospel for today speaks about the farmer who scattered seed on the ground. After planting, I loved what he did: SLEEP. Why sleeping after the planting? Friends, sleeping is a gesture of trust. Sleep because God is in control. Relax because once our job is over God will take of the rest. Keep in mind that God is working when we are sleeping. After you have done evrything, take a rest. If you don’t sleep it will lead to more issues, troubles and problems. Look at what happened to David. He is suppose to sleep but he never did. He is suppose to take a siesta but he walk at the roof top. That failure to sleep leads him to find a woman taking a bathe. And it was the start of his adulterous act with Bathsheba. He is suppose to sleep but he never dis and the consequence was grave. He impregnated Bathsheba and he organize the planning of murdering Uriah. Today, it is good to take a nap for a while. Take a short siesta sometimes to guard your eyes from sinning. In today’s gospel Jesus speaks aboutbtue kingdom of God and compared it to a mistard seed. Why compared God’s kingdom to a seed? For several reasons. First, God wanted us to grow. He wants us to start small and end big. Second, to remind us that all biggest stuff in the world starts in a small beginnings. And finally to tell us that the best is yet to come. Friends, do not stress about things you cannot control. Like the farmer trust the Lord because the BEST IS YET TO COME. Blessings Fr. Jhack
