Notice the Good!

Last Sunday was the Feast of the Epiphany

or the Feast of the Manifestation.

The Epiphany takes its name 

from the Greek word epiphania,

which means the coming of a god to earth!

When the three wise men or magi 

came to bring Jesus gifts,

it meant that the "world" recognized him as God.

And that God was calling not only the Jews

but the whole world to Himself!

The amazing thing is that

this was not a legend or a fairy tale.

God really took a human form

and allowed Himself to be enveloped

by our frail flesh!

Polish Catholics have some interesting 

celebrations on this holiday and work-free day

and you can read about them here.

This is Nathanael.

Jesus said of him:

"I saw you under a fig tree."

'Sitting under a fig tree" is a rabbinical idiom

used frequently by the Jews in Jesus' time. 

It meant that Nathanael would meditate

on the Torah.

Jesus was pointing out the good that

Nathanael did. 

We too should notice the good in others!

How about us?

Do we notice the good in others?

Or do we notice more the 

things that they do wrong?

Can we say that our life testifies to God's love?

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

Read about her beautifully messy and 
joyfully imperfect life in
