In the Catholic Tradition… Let’s See God in All Things
Due to our human nature we get restless and irritable when things are not going our way.
We want: health–are sick, success & high position–are forgotten & humiliated, holiness–God allows us to be humbled and fall into sins. We want, we want, we want… yes it does come down to that…WE WANT… and think we DESERVE. there in lies our problem. Holiness is about what GOD WANTS. We fail to hear, see, understand what God wants. Remember Matthew 25:15-30. God gives/gave each of us a talent/talents. We are to take that talent, use it, all the while showing/giving God the glory while our talent/s grow. Mowing lawns well is a talent… cleaning is a talent, banking is a talent, singing is a talent, teaching is a talent, nursing is a talent, well you get the picture. WHATEVER your talent is, do it well for the glory of God. Be happy for the talent he gave you and use it to further his kingdom.
Now let’s talk about our mouth–our potty mouth–the world’s potty mouth. Today the “F” word (as well as the B word and you all know it) the norm. The meaning of the F word is to have sex with, to ruin/damage/an act or instance of having sex. The B word meaning is female dog, wolf, fox, or otter. NOWHERE does it mean “well gee willikers i don’t like that”. It is chringe worthy vulgar slang and each time you use it you are vulgar. period. just plain vulgar. By using it you teach your children to use it. They then become vulgar and descensitized to vulgar things. For those who don’t know what vulgar means… lacking in good taste/sophistication, making eplicit/offensive reference to sex/bodily functions, coarse/rude. Is that what you mean to look and sound like? Is that how you want your children to be seen? Think about that, it all comes down to how you want to be seen. There is nothing cool, hip, fab, funky, groovy, fly, phat, lit, gnarly, rad, zooly, or the cat’s meow about those words.
Know you are prayed for.
