Magnificat

"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." (Luke 1:46)

Momma Mary spoke these words over 2,000 years ago, and yet we can claim her words and echo her sentiments today.

God has done great things for us and holy is His name.

How do our lives reflect the love the Savior of our souls has for us? How do we take God to others, even in our own homes where sometimes it's the hardest place to do so?

A kind smile when someone is feeling crabby. A warm lap for a sleepy little one to snuggle in. Help with homework, that comes with patience and not exasperation. Putting away a book we really would like to read, in favor of playing a game or reading a book to someone who is bored.

We bring God outside the home when we feed the hungry by dropping off canned goods at the back of church. Drop a buck or two in the poor box. I promise, you won't even miss it! But someone will really benefit.

May our lives proclaim the greatness of the Lord in the little things we do and say everyday.
