With our trees bare already... to see these spectacular trees in the bright fall sun was a delight. But each word of the Gospel was a ringing bell to me... Matthew 25: 31-40. It spoke of the life that Larry lived in his humble service to all those in need... from alcoholics anonymous, TEC, REC, and within the church on the Diocesan Parish councils and in charge of faith formation within his church there in Monte... It put the spotlight on my own life and how much more I could do, and should do! 
The floral arrangement from his wife was placed on a cross... so appropriate and special! Her most cherished cross is now gone to wait for her in heaven.
Lord, how I long to be with you each and every moment of every day. Give me the strength to walk away from my selfish ways and give til it hurts. Jesus, I trust in you! Amen and Halleluia
Bless-bless, Barb"When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous people at his right and the others on his left. Then the King will say to the people on his right, 'Come and possess the Kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.' The righteous will then answer him, 'When , Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you into our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'
Matthew 25: 31-40
