Readings for the Day: ACTS 3:1-10 PS 105: 1-4, 6-9 LK 24:13-35

Today’s Gospel is one I can really identify with. It’s about two disciples who encounter Jesus. They don’t realize it’s Jesus. And it isn’t until he breaks the bread that they realize it is him. Then, in retrospect, they talk about how their hearts were burning within them as he spoke.

There have been so many times in my life when the Lord has visited me, comforted me, blessed me. And I don’t even recognize it in the moment. It isn’t until time passes and my sight clears. That was God!

How beautiful is that moment of recognition!

Let’s take a moment to reflect on how God has blessed us and everything he has gotten us through. Because when we look back at times he has walked with us in the past, it becomes easier to see how he is blessing us and bringing us through today.
