Quote: We all have something that bugs us and doesn’t bother others. I can’t stand toast crumbs in the butter…There are people in the world who would be happy to share my table, toast crumbs and all…Some will find a meal today in garbage cans; others will live another day without food…Food does more than satisfy your hunger. It knits us together and increases our awareness of the generosity of God and others…We often substitute accumulation for happiness, then are puzzled when it doesn’t produce joy. Jesus gave himself fully to give us life; in turn, we offer ourselves generously to others and are surprised to find ourselves enriched. (Prayer) “Generous God, thank you for your many gifts of love. Make us generous in sharing with others. Amen.”
