Feast of All Saints

 

Today we celebrate All Saints,

And as we reflect upon all of the saints and the amazing things they did,

Sometimes the first thought that comes to our mind is,

“I could never do that.”

Or “I am too old for for that.”

Saints became Saints not because they had special gifts and talents that no one else had but because they said “Yes” to God.

And after they said “Yes.”

God gave them all the gifts and talents they needed.

And age makes no difference because God is eternal.

To God, a Day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day.

So God is not concerned with time or age or ability.

He has that all figured out.

All we have to do is say “Yes”

That however, is harder than one thinks.

Because we all have a list of excuses when God calls us.

Saints are people who never make excuses.

Who never count the cost or the time.

For God will pay them back for their sacrifices here,

with the riches of His Kingdom

And their short time on earth,

With Eternity in Heaven
