Getting Close to Jesus

Ask Jesus what he would like for you to do for him each day. Start your day with the morning offering and the daily readings especially the Gospel. Ask yourself if you are doing what Jesus wants you to do each day. You will probably be surprised at what he asks you to do. My friend Cindy (not her real name) and her husband were walking to their hotel one evening from a game. They noticed that there was a homeless man asleep on a park bench. Now, Cindy’s husband had his favorite “army blanket” wrapped around his shoulders to protect him from the evening chill. It was a very sentimental because he had been deployed to Afghanistan several times. The blanket went with him to each assignment. All of a sudden, Cindy heard the Lord tell her to give the homeless man the blanket. How would she break it to her husband? A little argument between Cindy and Jesus resulted in her submission. Her husband reluctantly agreed after much persuasion from Cindy. The next morning when they went to settle their hotel bill, they were in awe when they found that someone had paid it for them! God id good! They took care of the homeless man and the Lord took care of this generous and obedient couple!
